Antistatic PTFE Film
Antistatic PTFE film is a high-performance material designed to deliver superior anti static control, exceptional chemical resistance, and outstanding thermal stability across diverse industrial applications. Engineered with a surface resistivity range of 10⁴ to 10⁶ ohms, this advanced material ensures reliable ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection in sensitive environments.
Manufactured through precision processes, antistatic PTFE film retains the exceptional properties of PTFE, such as its low friction, non-stick surface, and wide temperature range from -200°C to 260°C (-328°F to 500°F). Its certified compliance with RoHS, UL94 V-0, and industry testing standards ensures its suitability for electronics manufacturing, aerospace, cleanrooms, and other demanding sectors.
The antistatic PTFE film is manufactured using a specialized formulation that incorporates conductive fillers into PTFE, ensuring consistent static dissipation while maintaining PTFE’s inherent benefits. This advanced material provides a unique combination of anti static properties, high durability, and superior performance under harsh conditions. The film’s ability to prevent electrostatic buildup makes it an ideal choice for industries that rely on static-sensitive processes, such as electronics assembly and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Unlike traditional materials, such as PTFE coated glass fabric, which may lack sufficient static dissipation in high-risk environments, antistatic PTFE film ensures consistent performance, even in extreme conditions. Additionally, the material’s ultra-low coefficient of friction minimizes material buildup, while its chemical resistance protects against strong acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
This film and PTFE material is precision-engineered in a wide range of thicknesses, from 0.05 mm to 6.5 mm, allowing it to meet various application requirements, from ultra-thin liners to heavy-duty insulating layers. Its low moisture absorption (<0.01%) and dimensional stability make it suitable for both humid and dry environments, ensuring reliability in PTFE films used for advanced industrial applications.
