English term or phrase: templek
It appears to be a substance used for laminating furniture (cabinets).

I couldn't find references on the web as to whether it's a substance or the name of a product that contains this substance (and if it's a product, what substance could it be?)

Thank you for your suggestions.

Jack's temperature sensor
Explanation:
I think Jack's on to something with his temperature sensor. I'm a cabinetmaker and have built a TV/stereo cabinet. The electronic components will heat things up inside the cabinet, so the normal procedure is to have ventilation holes in the back and even a small fan. If these people are building a cabinet that will contain electronic components and are going to use laminated materials, they will want to estimate how hot things will get inside the cabinet in order to use the right glue, for example, for the laminates. It appears they are steam-bending the laminates.
They would place the temperature sensor on the test cabinet (not the cabinet they are making).

OK, here's something else I just found, though it's still only a wild guess...

Hi Rodrigo
the temp sensor I have is a "Templec" it has a temp sensor lead for out door sensing and the actual unit reads the indoor temp and also humidity so one sensor is near the exhaust and the display is near the inlet so I can monitor the temp in 2 places in the hushbox. Places like Tandy Electronics have them try some electronic component shops You should be even able to get them online do a search and research on the web.
best of luck
Dennis
