PTFE-coated fabrics are high-performance materials used in a wide range of applications. These materials offer non-stick surfaces with excellent resistance to extreme temperatures.

Applications for PTFE-Coated Fabrics

PTFE-coated fabrics are used in a variety of industries and applications:

• Packaging: PTFE adhesive tapes.
• Printing: Open weave mesh belting.
• Textiles: Closed weave and mesh belting.
• UPVC Window Welding: Non-adhesive and self-adhesive materials.

Features & Benefits

The properties of PTFE-coated materials make them an excellent choice for use in cooling chambers and freezing temperatures, as well as high thermal environments. The PTFE is coated onto either a fiberglass or Kevlar substrate. Both substrates offer high levels of temperature resistance, with Kevlar being beneficial in applications requiring additional strength or where steam is present.

Material Properties

• Chemical Inertness: Affected only by a few rare substances at very high temperatures.
• High Release from Sticky Materials: Non-stick and easy to clean.
• Low Friction Coefficient: 0.04 – 0.10, depending on load and surface speed.
• Chemical Corrosion and Moisture Resistance
• Mildew and Fungus Resistance
• Outstanding Electrical and Dielectric Properties
• Ultra-Violet, Infra-Red, Microwave, & Radio Frequency Resistance
• Non-Combustible: Self-extinguishing.
• Low Thermal Expansion: Less than 5%.
• Lightweight and Energy Efficient

Additional Information

Techbelt’s PTFE-coated fabrics are available as slit rolls in adhesive-backed form, sheet rolls in non-adhesive form, or converted into specialized conveyor belting. Material widths can vary but are available up to 197 inches wide, depending on the grade and requirement.
