STRIP CURTAINS

Claremont Polymer Shapes is pleased to now offer transparent, flexible, STRIP CURTAINS for doors and enclosures, providing an easily installed, low-cost and long-lasting solution to plants suffering from intrusion by weather, dust, fumes and noise. They are ideal for loading docks, interior plant passages, personnel doors and, in particular, freezers. Rounded edges reduce snagging, while the overlapping concave/convex configuration allows strips to interlock when hung, forming an excellent seal and reducing heat loss. In the case of Low-Temp and Extra Low-Temp grades, flexibility at lower temperatures becomes key in reducing the energy costs associated with cooling and dehumidifying. STRIP CURTAINS offered by Claremont Polymer Shapes allow for easy passage of people, products or vehicles, automatically and correctly orienting itself once the obstruction has passed.

Most grades of STRIP CURTAIN are manufactured from a USDA approved material, and is available in a variety of thicknesses from 0.060 inch to 0.160 inch and in widths from 6 inch to 16 inch.

Standard Strip

Standard Strip, manufactured from a USDA approved material, is most commonly used in indoor/outdoor applications, and functions at temperatures ranging from -18 to 65°C (0° to 150°F).

Low Temp Strip

Low Temp Strip, manufactured from a USDA approved material, is available in three configurations: smooth non-reinforced, smooth with reinforcement, or ribbed. The material is suitable for use in freezers and in exterior applications at temperatures as low as -34°C (-30°F).

Extra-Low Temp Strip

Strip manufactured from a USDA approved material is also available in an Extra-Low Temp formulation, designed for use in freezers operating at temperatures as low as -51°C (-60°F).

Safety Strip

Safety Strip is produced in a translucent grade of fluorescent ("safety") orange. This product can be used to outline hazardous areas and high traffic areas, and can be used to guide forklift and pallet truck operators to the doors edge, thus reducing the potential for wall damage.

Weld Screen Weld Screen is designed to reduce the hazards of welding arcs in areas adjacent to welding operations. The specially formulated material effectively screens out all the dangerous ultraviolet and near-ultraviolet light associated with welding. It performs two important safety functions by allowing the transmission of useful visible light for personnel safety, while screening light in the harmful non-visible ultraviolet spectrum. The material is flame resistant with a UL94 V-O flame rating. Weld Screen can also be used as a protective barrier in instances of UV sterilization, as well as applications such as bottle printing where UV curable inks are used. WARNING: Consult qualified personnel to determine minimum safe distances for viewing welding operations through Weld Screen material without approved eye protection. For direct, close range viewing of welding arcs, approved eye protection must be worn.
Anti-Static Anti-Static strip reduces the tendency for dust to accumulate in plants where grinding, sanding and other similar operations produce large quantities of particulates.
Ribbed Strip Standard, Low Temp and Safety Strip are also available with a unique triangular rib configuration. The softly rounded ribbed surfaces help reduce scratching from truck and cargo traffic, and the friction and static electricity associated with smooth strips. The ribbing on both sides creates small air pockets for additional insulation and allows the strips to move apart easily as traffic passes through. It also facilitates longer wear life in high traffic areas.
MOUNTING OPTIONS Several standard door mount styles are available from which to choose to suit your specific plant needs. Based upon your opening size, Claremont Polymer Shapes can supply all of the necessary cut-to-length, pre-punched strips and mounting hardware to allow you to install the door.

Surface Mount	Uses: Doorways where a tight seal is required. The Surface Mount fastens flush over the opening providing maximum seal. Dimensional Requirements: Width and height of door opening. Ensure there is a minimum of 6-inches clearance over the door and 3-inches on each side. Ensure wall will support the weight of the STRIP CURTAIN. Ordering Requirements: Width and height of finished STRIP CURTAIN. Grade, thickness and width of strip material. Overlap of strips.
Angle Mount	Uses: Doorways where no space is available for Surface Mount. The Angle Mount fastens inside the lintel of the door opening. Dimensional Requirements: Width and height of door opening. Ensure lintel will support the weight of the STRIP CURTAIN. Ordering Requirements: Width and height of finished STRIP CURTAIN. Grade, thickness and width of strip material. Overlap of strips.
Off-Wall Mount	Uses: When overhead door tracks interfere with the mounting of either a Surface or Angle Mount. Dimensional Requirements: Width and height of door opening. Outside width of overhead door tracks. Ensure inside wall at the side and top of the overhead door will support the weight of the STRIP CURTAIN. Ensure a minimum of 12-inches of projection from the wall (for mounting hardware) will not interfere with operation of the overhead door. Ordering Requirements: Width, height and projection of finished STRIP CURTAIN. Grade, thickness and width of strip material. Overlap of strips.
Sliding Mount	Uses: When temporary removal of the STRIP CURTAIN is required. Dimensional Requirements: Width and height of door opening. Ensure there is 12-inches of clearance above the door and enough clearance on one side of the door opening to slide STRIP CURTAIN out of the way. Wall above door opening must be able to support the weight of the STRIP CURTAIN and the track. Ordering Requirements: Width and height of finished STRIP CURTAIN. Track length. Grade, thickness and width of strip material. Overlap of strips.
Two-Way Swing Mount	Uses: When temporary removal of the STRIP CURTAIN is required and there is not enough room on either side of the door to accommodate a Sliding Mount. (Two-Way Swing Mount has a pull-cord activated centre latching mechanism.) Dimensional Requirements: Width and height of door opening. Ensure jambs of door opening will support the weight of the STRIP CURTAIN and brackets. Ordering Requirements: Width and height of finished STRIP CURTAIN. Grade, thickness and width of strip material. Overlap of strips.
