The Polyamide I-Type Thermal Break Strip uses a straight I-shaped cross-section to separate the inner and outer sections of thermally broken aluminum profiles. Jinxing manufactures this PA66-based strip in China for aluminum window, door and curtain wall profile manufacturers, combining glass-fiber reinforcement with controlled dimensions for stable insertion and profile assembly.
For aluminum profile systems using a simple, straight thermal break cavity, the I-Type design provides a direct connection between the two sides of the extrusion while maintaining a polymer barrier between them. Jinxing supplies Polyamide I-Type Thermal Break Strip as a China factory product with profile dimensions developed around the customer's actual aluminum extrusion and mechanical engagement requirements.
The I-Type Profile
The cross-section is shaped like the letter “I,” with the two ends engaging with the corresponding aluminum profile grooves.
Its relatively straightforward geometry makes the I-Type suitable for many conventional thermal break profile designs, particularly where the aluminum extrusion has matching pockets for strip insertion and mechanical locking.
The important point is not the shape alone. The strip width, thickness, end geometry and groove fit all need to correspond to the aluminum profile.
Why Use an I-Type Strip?
· Straightforward Profile Geometry — Suitable for aluminum sections designed around a simple thermal break cavity.
· Reliable Mechanical Engagement — The profile can be matched to the aluminum groove for stable assembly.
· PA66 Glass-Fiber Reinforcement — Provides the rigidity needed during insertion and profile processing.
· Consistent Cross-Section — Controlled extrusion helps maintain the dimensions required for profile matching.
· Flexible Size Selection — Different dimensions can be produced for different aluminum extrusion systems.
Material Construction
Jinxing uses PA66 nylon with glass-fiber reinforcement for its thermal break strips. The reinforcement improves the stiffness and mechanical stability of the polyamide profile while keeping the material suitable for extrusion into continuous thermal break sections.
Material preparation is followed by extrusion, cooling, shaping and precision cutting. Incoming material checks can include melt flow index, glass-fiber content and moisture to help maintain batch consistency.
Where the I-Type Fits
Polyamide I-Type Thermal Break Strip can be used in thermally separated:
· Aluminum window profiles
· Aluminum door profiles
· Curtain wall profiles
· Other architectural aluminum extrusions with compatible I-Type cavities
The final strip size should be selected from the actual profile section rather than only from the application name.
Check the Aluminum Groove Before Ordering
For I-Type thermal break strips, profile compatibility is especially important. Buyers should check:
Item
What to Confirm
Strip width
Matches the aluminum cavity
Strip thickness
Provides the required separation and fit
End geometry
Engages correctly with the profile grooves
Insertion method
Compatible with the production process
Rolling conditions
Maintains mechanical retention after assembly
Profile drawing
Confirms the complete cross-section
Jinxing can produce non-standard I-Type dimensions when an existing size does not match the aluminum extrusion.
Production and Inspection
During extrusion, Jinxing controls key process conditions such as extrusion temperature, pulling speed and cooling. Production samples are checked for cross-sectional dimensions and surface defects.
Finished strips are inspected before shipment, while relevant mechanical, thermal aging, water resistance and other properties can be evaluated according to the applicable requirements.
Supply and Customization
I-Type strips can be supplied in straight lengths or coils according to the product specification. Standard straight strips are available at 6 m per piece, while customized cutting can be arranged for specific project requirements.
Jinxing can also provide customized:
· Cross-sectional dimensions
· Special colors
· Cut lengths
· Packaging
· Laser coding
For profile manufacturers developing a new aluminum extrusion, production can start from a drawing or physical sample and proceed through tooling, trial extrusion and final dimension confirmation.
FAQ
What is a Polyamide I-Type Thermal Break Strip?
It is a polyamide thermal break profile with an I-shaped cross-section, installed between separated aluminum sections to provide thermal separation within the finished profile.
Why is the I-Type design commonly used?
Its relatively simple cross-section can fit aluminum profiles designed with corresponding grooves and provides a straightforward approach to thermal break assembly.
What material does Jinxing use for I-Type thermal break strips?
Jinxing uses PA66 nylon with glass-fiber reinforcement for its thermal break strip production.
Can Jinxing customize an I-Type thermal break strip?
Yes. Dimensions, cross-section details, color, length and packaging can be customized according to aluminum profile drawings or samples.
How do I choose the correct I-Type size?
The aluminum extrusion drawing should be used to determine the required strip width, thickness, end geometry and engagement dimensions.
