Available in ferrous or non-ferrous metals, Rigid-tex® can be provided in sheet, strip, or coil. Enhanced performance and appearance over plain flat-rolled metal equates to stronger, lighter, better looking, and longer lasting metal for your unique application.Rigid-tex® saves metal and money – A prime advantage of Rigid-tex® metal is its strength. It’s stronger than plain flat-rolled metal because of its three-dimensional design. It has greater strength in all directions in contrast with corrugated metal, which has increased strength in only one direction. Consequently, when Rigid-tex® metal is used in place of ordinary metal, lighter gauges can be substituted, reducing weight and saving metal without sacrificing strength. Rigid-tex® metal provides as much as 108% greater rigidity, 70% greater buckling strength, 39% greater impact resistance, and 92% greater tensile strength than the original flat metal, depending on selection of material and pattern.Rigid-tex® is metal for motion – Deep textured Rigid-tex® metal reduces surface tension and friction for the processing of paper, film and food products, in many instances, eliminating the need for expensive and high maintenance mechanical processes.Rigid-tex® looks better longer – The texture of Rigid-tex® metal conceals scratches, smudges, and fingerprints so that cleaning and maintenance are greatly reduced. | Vipertex® is the heat transfer division of Rigidized Metals Corporation®, offering enhanced surfaces and tubes for high performance thermal systems. Vipertex® tubes can be produced using various ASTM standards: ASTM B1040 (Copper); ASTM A1120 (Carbon Steel); ASTM A1098 (Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic and Duplex Stainless steel).
