HexChex™ - ISO Polymer Upgrade
We have upgraded materials for 2014 making HexChex™ softer to manipulate by hand and improving the overall usability and functionality of the product. Used throughout the automotive industry this new material is an ISO standard for many critical components due to its outstanding mechanical properties, dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, excellent thermal, UV and chemical resistance.
This means better, more consistent performance over the life of the part and a melt point just outside the normal temperature range of a truck wheel under heavy breaking. This high temperature material will retain its mechanical properties right up to it's melt point. This melting effect can be used to detect hub problems but shouldn't be relied on for this purpose*

* The amount of heat transferred through the wheels depends on many factors which vary for each vehicle. It is always recommended to follow correct procedures where maintenance is required to ensure hub problems don't become expensive or dangerous. |
