PTFE Teflon
TAPES
TEXAFLON PTFE Coated fiberglass and Virgin PTFE Tapes are versatile and durable materials that can be used in a wide variety of applications.
It is a good choice for applications where high heat resistance, chemical resistance, water resistance, dimensional stability, and a non-stick surface are important.
Properties
High heat resistance
Teflon coated fiberglass tape can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for use in high-temperature applications.
Chemical resistance
Teflon is a very inert material, so it is resistant to a wide range of chemicals. This makes teflon coated fiberglass tape a good choice for use in applications where it may come into contact with chemicals.
Dimensional stability
Teflon coated fiberglass tape is dimensionally stable, so it will not shrink or expand when exposed to heat or cold. This makes it a good choice for use in applications where precision is important.
Non-stick surface
The PTFE coating on teflon coated fiberglass tape gives it a non-stick surface, which makes it ideal for use in applications where it is necessary to prevent adhesion.
Applications
-
Heat sealing: PTFE coated fiberglass tape is often used on heat sealers to prevent the molten plastic from sticking to the heating element.
-
Electrical insulation: PTFE coated fiberglass tape is a good electrical insulator, so it is often used to insulate electrical wires and components.
