This grouping of high performance materials is best known for the woven fiberglass coated with teflon resin. This can be supplied as fabrics, belts, or pressure sensitive tapes. The best known trade names for this class of products are Greenbelt®, Fluorglass®, Taconic®, and CHR®. These products offer the following combination of properties:
The fabrics are used for gaskets, seals, and diaphragms. The tapes are primarily used for heat sealing fins, release coverings, bushing and bearing liners, and many slide and guide applications.
The thickness range is 002″ through 024″ The standard width is 36″, but can be sit to any width and is 50K in ros
Also in the PTFE/ Glass “family” are: Adhesive backed – pure PTFE, Kapton®, UHMW, Teflon coated aluminum foil.
Fluorofab fabrics and belting are made from woven fiberglass cloth that has been coated with Teflon. These products offer
the well-known properties of Teflon, while being dimensionally stable from -400°F to + 600°F. They are non-toxic, odorless tasteless and have been cleared by the FDA for use in food processing, packaging and handing. They are ideally suited for a variety of industrial applications.
Heat sealing plastic films
Silicone, Glass Fabrics are made from woven fiberglass cloth that has been coated on one or both sides with Silicone. The
end result is a line of products With excellent release properties. coupled with the strength and tear resistance of fibenglass.
In fact, silicone fabrics will release from many adhesive materials that would normally stick to Teflon. The operating temperature range of silicone fabrics is from -100°F to +500°F. Dielectric strength is high, as is resistant t wear and flexing,

Fluorofab tapes are made from woven fiberglass cloth that has been coated with Teflon. We then apply a silicone adhesive.
system for the highest temperature applications. or an acrylic adhesive system for applications that require a more agressive adhesive at lower temperatures.
Covering the sealing surfaces on polyethylene bag-making equipment
This is pure unsupported virgin Teflon film with all the characteristics of our Fluorofab tape plus the advantage of being very comfortable. It easy stretches and is often used to line large molds. We adhesive-coat this tape with a high temperature silicone adhesive system.

UHMW tapes are made from ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin with an aggressive acrylic adhesive system. They are
much more abrasive resistant and puncture resistant than Teflon, but with a similar nonstick and low coefficient of friction surface. UHMWY is FDA-approved an suitable for temperatures up to 225°F.
Wear strips, chute linings
High Modulus Teflon Tapes are pure unsupported virgin Teflon similar to Skived Teflon, but much denser and stronger. These tapes are ideally suited as a high-temperature roller wrap during flat die polyethylene extrusion and laminating processes. They also possess unusually high dialectric strengths and are often used to insulate coils and transformers.
