High Temperature Fabrics

Fluorofab® Fabrics have a woven fiberglass cloth substrate which has been coated with PTFE. In addition to providing the properties of excellent release, abrasion resistance, low friction and chemical resistance, these fabrics are dimensionally stable from -100°F to +550°F. Because of their non-toxic, odorless and tasteless qualities they have been approved by the FDA for food processing, packaging and handling.

They are also ideally suited for a wide variety of industrial applications such as:

Silicone/Glass Fabrics have a woven fiberglass cloth substrate which has been coated on one or both sides with silicone. These fabrics exhibit the strength and tear resistance of fiberglass, as well as, provide excellent release properties. Many adhesive materials that would normally stick to Teflon® will release from our silicone fabrics.


The dielectric strength, resistance to wear and flexing of our silicone fabrics are high, and their operating temperature range is from -100°F to +500°F. The silicone coating has a high chemical resistance, which is impervious to mild alkalies, non-oxidizing acids, most salts, mineral and lubricating oils, air, moisture and sunlight. The non-toxic, odorless and tasteless qualities of the coating enable the fabric to be used in many food handling operations, as well as, many other industrial applications such as:

  •  Shrink tunnel curtains
  •  Gasketing
  •  Release sheet/separator material

Speciality Fabrics To meet specific applications we can offer customized fabrics made by our suppliers which are coated with other substrates such as Kevlar®, Nomex® and laminates with PTFE or silicone to your exact specifications.

 

High Temperature Tape

Flourofab® Tapes 100 Series Fabricated from PTFE coated woven fiberglass fabric, Fluorofab® tape series provides excellent release properties, high chemical and abrasion resistance and a low-friction surface.

Available in a wide choice of substrate thicknesses with a silicone adhesive for high temperature applications, or an acrylic for stronger bonding at lower temperatures. Some of the typical applications include:

  •   Covering the heat sealing surface on: L Bar, Impulse and Bag Sealers
  •   Guide rails and chute linings
  •   Non-stick roll coverings
  •   Reusable release surfaces
  •   Bearing Pads

Skived PTFE Tapes 110 Series Fabricated from pure unsupported virgin PTFE film, our Skived PTFE tapes provide exceptional electrical properties and exhibit all the characteristics of our Fluorofab® tapes with the added advantage of being very conformable. It stretches easily and is often used to line large molds. Our high temperature silicone adhesive system is used to adhesive-coat this series of tapes. Typical applications include:

  •  Insulation buffer for RF sealing
  •  Many electrical applications
  •  Mandrel Coverings
  •  Mold release linings
  •  Covering the heat sealing surface on: L Bar, Impulse and Bag Sealers
  •  Guide rails and chute linings

UHMW Polyolefin Tapes 130 Series are fabricated from an ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin with an aggressive acrylic adhesive system. This series of tapes is much more abrasive and puncture resistant than PTFE, however provide a similar non-stick and low coefficient of friction surface. They are FDA-approved and suitable for applications with temperatures up to 225°F. Typical applications include:

  •  Wear strips and chute linings
  •  Guide rails and many work surfaces
  •  Bearing surfaces
  •  Sliding surfaces
  •  Furniture drawer slides


High Modulus PTFE Tape 150-2S & 5S Series are fabricated from pure unsupported virgin PTFE, similar to our Skived PTFE tapes, except they are much denser and stronger. These tapes are ideally suited as a high temperature roller wrap during die polyethylene extrusion and laminating processes. They have excellent electrical properties and are often used to insulate coils and transformers because of their exceptionally high dielectric strengths.
Typical applications include:

  •  Roller Wrapping
  •  Electrical insulation


Thermal Spray Tapes Full line of high performance masking tapes specifically designed to meet the needs of the Thermal Spray Industry are offered by us. These tapes provide superior mechanical and thermal protection. Excellent abrasion resistance makes these tapes ideal for grit blasting and flame metal spray applications.

All our Thermal Spray Tapes are engineered to provide superior tack adhesion and remove cleanly from metal surfaces. These tapes are available in widths from 1/8" to 48", standard roll length is 36 yards. Custom die cut profiles can be manufactured, saving time during masking.

Silicone Coated Fiberglass Tapes 170-10S, 170-10S CL, 170-20S This family of tapes is a high temperature, silicone coated fiberglass tape with a silicone polymer adhesive. Features:

  •  Superior mechanical and thermal protection
