OVERVIEW of PTFE Glass Fabric |
PTFE Glass Fabric (aka PTFE Teflon® Glass Cloth) - Designed for a wide range of applications, Taconic TFE-GLASS™ Fabric is available in several grades to match specific performance requirements.
Taconic utilizes two PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) formulations: TEFLON® &
FLUON®. - These deliver classic PTFE high-perfomance characteristics, including:
Non-stick surface.
-100°F(-73°C) to 500°F(260°C) - Chemically inert.
High tensile strength.
Grades:
Premium Grade TFE-GLASS™ Fabric
Featuring an extra-heavy coating of PTFE, Taconic premium-grade TFE-GLASS™ fabric delivers a super-smooth surface, perfect for advanced applications, including:
Release sheets for cooking and baking applications
Laminate separator sheets
Specialized heat sealing
Demanding, non-stick applications
Standard Grade TFE-GLASS™ Fabric: -
With a smooth surface and superb non-stick properties, Taconic standard grade TFE-GLASS™ fabric serves the widest range of applications, including:
Release sheets on heat-sealing machines and laminate presses
Non-stick surfaces for paints, adhesives, and food products
Gaskets, seals and bearings for chemicals, oils and gases
Thermal insulation for high-temperature and chemical-resistant applications
Covers for hot plates, platens, chutes, hoppers, troughs and rolls
Mechanical Grade TFE-GLASS™ Fabric -
Designed to deliver resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, Taconic mechanical grade TFE-GLASS™ fabric utilizes a medium coating of PTFE. Typical applications include: chemical-resistant laboratory aprons and protective curtains, for:
Bottle washers and paint spraying curtains
Food packaging
Acid protection
Economy Grade TFE-GLASS™ Fabrics:
Providing a light coat of PTFE, Taconic economy grade fabrics are designed for large volume applications which require cost efficiency, yet still need high performance.
Typical uses include:
Leaders for processing paper, plastics, metallic foils and cloth
Separator sheets for processing uncured rubber
The manufacture of abrasive wheels
Crease and Tear Resistant TFE-GLASS™ Fabric:
Provides an unusually flexible material for use in applications which demand: high tear-strength and good flex-life.
