Petrowax is a versatile, easy-to-use mounting solution designed for modal testing, structural analysis, and automotive/aerospace applications. 

Perfect for temporary installations with accelerometers, it allows for quick attachment and removal without leaving residue behind. However, it's essential to consider the temperature of the unit being tested, as Petrowax is not suitable for high-temperature environments. 

Available in convenient 25mm square boxes, it provides an efficient and reliable method for testing lightweight structures and components.

Applications

  • Modal Analysis of Lightweight Structures
  • Automotive
  • Structural Testing
  • Auto/Aero structural body surveys
