Fabric expansion joints

Fabric expansion joints can consist of different soft materials such as tissue, PTFE, EPDM or Hypalon® and are used e.g. in fan and ventilation technology, in the power plant/DeNOx/REA/boiler fields, in waste incineration plant, in the cement industry or in dust extraction and filtration plant.
