Jinxing, a professional Thermal Break Strips manufacturer in China, manufactures T-Type Thermal Break Strip from PA66 nylon reinforced with GF25 glass fiber for thermally insulated aluminum profiles. Its T-shaped cross-section is developed to work with corresponding aluminum profile geometries, making the relationship between the strip head, stem, and receiving section important during profile design and assembly.
The T-Type Thermal Break Strip offered by Jinxing factory can be supplied in 6-meter straight strips or 500-meter coils. For aluminum profiles requiring a special T-shaped section, we can review customer drawings and confirm the required dimensions, tooling, color, length, and processing requirements before production.
T-Shaped Cross-Section and Assembly
The geometry of a T-type strip can be viewed through three basic relationships within the profile:
Head and Receiving Section
The wider portion of the T-shaped strip needs to correspond with the receiving or retaining geometry of the aluminum profile.
Stem and Groove
The narrower stem extends into the corresponding groove or section of the profile and helps establish the intended position of the insulating strip.
Section Alignment
The complete T-shaped profile needs to remain compatible with the aluminum profile during insertion and subsequent processing. Section dimensions therefore need to be confirmed against the actual profile drawing.
These relationships make T-Type Thermal Break Strip particularly suitable for applications where the aluminum profile has been designed around a defined T-shaped receiving structure.
PA66 GF25 Material
The strip is produced from PA66 nylon reinforced with 25% glass fiber (GF25).
PA66 forms the polymer base, while glass fiber provides reinforcement within the material system. The compound is processed through extrusion to form the required T-shaped profile.
This material is used across Jinxing's thermal break strip range for:
· insulated aluminum doors and windows
· curtain wall profiles
· thermally separated aluminum profile systems
· customized thermal break profile applications
How the Profile Is Manufactured
T-type thermal break strips are continuously formed through extrusion, with the cross-section established by the selected tooling and stabilized through downstream cooling and sizing.
Material Preparation
PA66 nylon and GF25 glass fiber are prepared according to the production formulation. Incoming materials are inspected as part of the material-control process.
Profile Forming
The prepared compound enters a parallel twin-screw extrusion system and is plasticized, mixed, and formed through tooling designed for the required T-type section.
Cooling and Sizing
After extrusion, the profile passes through cooling and sizing stages to stabilize the T-shaped geometry and maintain the specified section dimensions.
Cutting or Coiling
The finished strip is processed into the required supply form. Depending on the order, it can be delivered as fixed-length straight strips or continuous coils.
Matching the Strip to the Aluminum Profile
Selecting a T-type strip starts with the aluminum profile rather than the strip alone.
For a new profile or replacement project, the following information should be checked:
Profile Consideration
Why It Matters
Groove or receiving section
Determines how the T-shaped strip is positioned
Head dimensions
Must correspond with the retaining geometry
Stem dimensions
Affects engagement with the profile groove
Overall section height and width
Determines dimensional compatibility
Insertion direction
Helps confirm how the strip enters the profile
Roller forming process
Determines the downstream processing requirements
Required strip length and supply form
Determines straight or coil supply
For non-standard profiles, the aluminum section drawing can be reviewed before tooling is confirmed.
Applications
Thermally Insulated Aluminum Windows and Doors
T-type strips can be incorporated into insulated aluminum profile systems where the profile is designed around a corresponding T-shaped receiving structure.
Curtain Wall Aluminum Profiles
Used in curtain wall profile assemblies requiring a T-type thermal break section that corresponds to the specific aluminum profile geometry.
Specialized Aluminum Profile Systems
Suitable for profile designs that require a non-standard thermal break section rather than a commonly available I-type or C-type configuration.
Profile Development Projects
T-type strips can be considered during new aluminum profile development, where the strip section and profile groove are designed together to establish the required assembly configuration.
T-Type Compared with Other Thermal Break Strip Profiles
The main advantage of a T-type thermal break strip is its profile engagement geometry. The wider head and narrower stem allow the strip to work with aluminum profiles designed with a corresponding receiving structure.
Profile Type
Structural Characteristic
Suitable Selection Consideration
T-Type
Wider head with a narrower stem
Suitable for aluminum profiles designed around a T-shaped receiving or retaining structure
I-Type
Symmetrical I-shaped section
Commonly selected where the aluminum profile groove is designed for a straight, centered insulating section
C-Type
C-shaped receiving profile
Suitable for aluminum profiles using a corresponding retaining or receiving geometry
T-Type Profile Customization
T-type thermal break strips are often specified according to the geometry of the aluminum profile. When the required section falls outside the standard range, Jinxing can review the profile drawing before production.
Our available customization services include:
· Non-standard cross-sectional dimensions
· Tooling and production based on drawings
· Special colors such as gray and white
· Cut-to-length processing
· End chamfering
· Customized packaging
· Laser coding
For a customized T-type strip, buyers can provide the complete aluminum profile cross-section together with the required strip dimensions, length, color, packaging method, and processing conditions.
This information allows the required T-shaped section to be evaluated together with the actual aluminum profile rather than treated as a standalone component.
Quality and Process Control
The production system covers material preparation, extrusion, cooling, sizing, inspection, and finishing.
Incoming PA66 nylon and glass fiber are checked according to the company's material-control procedures. During extrusion, cross-sectional dimensions and surface condition are monitored as part of in-process control.
Laboratory testing can include properties such as density, Shore hardness, longitudinal and transverse tensile strength, water resistance, thermal aging, and coefficient of linear expansion according to the applicable product and testing requirements.
Before shipment, finished strips are inspected for appearance and dimensions, with relevant inspection documentation provided according to the agreed order requirements.

FAQ
What is a T-Type Thermal Break Strip?
A T-Type Thermal Break Strip is a PA66 GF25 insulating profile with a T-shaped cross-section designed to work with a corresponding aluminum profile geometry.
How is a T-type strip different from an I-type strip?
The primary difference is the cross-sectional geometry and the way the strip engages with the aluminum profile. T-type products use a wider head and narrower stem, so the receiving profile needs to be designed or selected accordingly.
How do I choose the correct T-type strip?
The strip should be matched to the actual aluminum profile section, including the receiving groove, retaining area, head and stem dimensions, insertion direction, and downstream processing conditions.
Can you develop a T-type strip from our profile drawing?
Yes. We can review customer drawings for non-standard T-type sections and confirm the tooling and production requirements before manufacturing.
Can the T-type strip be supplied in coils?
Yes. Standard coil supply is 500 meters per roll. 6-meter straight strips are also available.
Can the length and color be customized?
Special colors and cut-to-length requirements can be confirmed according to the order specification. Non-standard cross-sections are reviewed from the customer's drawing before production.
What should we provide for a T-type thermal break strip inquiry?
A complete aluminum profile cross-section drawing is the most useful starting point. Buyers can also provide the required strip dimensions, length, color, supply form, packaging requirements, and processing conditions.
