PTFE Film Tapes
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a highly specialized polymer and high-performance material with exceptional temperature resistance and anti-stick properties.
It is a go-to product for applications within industrial, chemical, electrical, aerospace or automotive markets, which require high-temperature stability and durability.
Due to its low friction coefficient (non-stick property) it is a great option for applications within seals, bearings and gaskets that require smooth motion. Because of these benefits, it is also often utilized as a release surface in composite molding and heat-sealing applications.
Coupled with a silicone adhesive system, our PTFE tapes are conformable, have high tensile strength and great chemical resistance. They are ideal for applications that have high exposure to chemicals, acids or solvents. PTFE can improve production efficiencies in a variety of applications such as within wire and cable insulation as well as electrical insulation.
PTFE has unmatched performance when it comes to chemical resistance and temperature tolerance, making it a perfect material candidate in some of the most demanding industries and applications. PTFE materials are long-lasting solutions that not only improve end-product quality and performance but can also help streamline production efficiencies.
Our customers rely on the Tape Solutions team to customize products and create rapid prototypes so they can scale up business opportunities quickly."
