development from
the premier player
in Europe
Superior Thin Films
Dalau, through consistent innovation
and investment offers high precision
CNC skiving capabilities to produce
0.025 mm by 1500 mm wide film – one
of the finest toleranced films available
on the market.
These films have been developed
for the exacting demands of the circuit
board and semi conductor industries.
We produce exceptional high quality
film with high physical properties and
skive mark free surface finish.

Specialists in P.T.F.EDalcon DFC 025
Specifically developed for the Flange
Gasket industry by blending Glass
Fibre and special additives to produce
a material ideally suited to the exacting
demands of the Flange Gasket
industry. All materials have been tested
to ASTM number 10 for Gasket
Constants for Bolted Joint Design.
Cut Flat Sheets
We offer a range of natural and filled
cut flat sheets under the Dalcon name
for an array of industry applications.
These sheets have gone through a
thermal stress relieving process to
remove roll curl to produce perfectly
flat gaskets or seals when cut or
stamped
Typical physical properties inherent
are;
• Improved creep resistance
and compressive strength
• Increased thermo conductivity
with the introduction of carbon
or coke fillers
• Provides a low friction,
corrosion resistant surface.
• Can be etched for bonding.
• Improved weldability
• High surface finishes
• Excellent wear properties
The best solution for your application -

STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL
Specialists in P.T.F.EOur commitment to
quality is paramount.
As a result we’ve
invested heavily in
effective quality
management and
monitoring processes
that can be relied
upon for high quality
products.
At the heart of our
quality regime is our
proprietary Statistical
Process Control (SPC)
system. Every part of
our production process
is recorded on SPC
allowing complex
computer models to
monitor and maintain
high production
standards, which
ensures a constant
high quality across
every finished product.
Samples are analysed at all stages
of production and the results are
kept on computer record for a period
of seven years. This ensures full
traceability on every Extruded,
Moulded or Skived product or
Machined Component - from raw
material to the finished article.
This quality system was first
approved by the Aeronautical
Inspectorate Directorate (AID) in 1956.
Today, Dalau operates a ‘TQM’ Total
Quality Management system that
forms the basis of day-to-day
production processes.
We meet the exacting standards of:
• BS EN ISO 9001: 2000
(Certificate No. Q5588)
• Rolls-Royce plc. CQC-103
(Certificate No. 80950)
• UL (Underwriters Laboratories)
certification. Dalcon 001 E135533
• EN 46001 compliant
Control and support facilities
Specific facilities include ‘in-house’
blending technology and the
introduction of a clean climate
controlled production facility. A clean
room system particularly for use in high
specifications applications (aerospace
and pharmaceutical etc) is available.
Precision product testing and control
As well as standard batch testing for
quality, including tensile, stress and
compression testing we also subject
all semi-finished products to our
unique Differential Scanning
Calorimeter (DSC) testing. This ‘thermal
fingerprinting’ provides important
information about the material’s
thermal behaviour and checks that
the material has been fully sintered.
Through its exact calibration DSC
enables the recording of melting
temperatures and molecular weight.
Complex temperature programs
for all product samples provide
effective data to quality control,
minimising operational inconsistencies.
The result, higher integrity products for
our customers.
