Thick PTFE Film Tape
Thick PTFE Film Tape is a high-strength, PTFE tape designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications. Its increased thickness, ranging from 0.13 mm to 0.8 mm (0.005″ to 0.031″), ensures exceptional tensile strength, dimensional stability, and durability under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. This enhanced structural integrity makes it ideal for applications requiring long-lasting performance in challenging environments.
Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures from -73°C to 260°C (-100°F to 500°F), Thick Film Tape is engineered for industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, automotive, and food packaging. Its optional high-temperature silicone adhesive backing ensures secure placement, even on complex or irregular surfaces.
Certified under RoHS, UL94 V-0, and ASTM D3308, Thick Film Tape provides compliance with global safety and quality standards, making it a trusted choice for critical industrial applications.
Thick Film Tape sets itself apart with its advanced thickness and reinforced PTFE-coated fiberglass construction. Unlike standard PTFE tapes, the thicker profile significantly enhances its mechanical strength, making it resistant to creep, elongation, and deformation under high-pressure or thermal stress. Its low-friction PTFE surface minimizes wear, ensuring consistent performance and reduced maintenance in dynamic applications such as conveyor belts and sliding components.
Additionally, the tape’s chemical inertness ensures it remains unaffected by aggressive chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents, making it ideal for use in chemically harsh environments. Combined with its high-temperature performance and non-stick properties, Thick Film Tape excels in applications where durability, thermal resistance, and low maintenance are critical.
Why Thickness Matters:
The increased thickness (up to 0.8 mm) provides greater durability and load-bearing capacity, which is particularly beneficial in high-pressure gaskets, sealing systems, and heat insulation layers. This added strength ensures a longer lifespan compared to thinner PTFE tapes, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering operational costs.
Thick Film Tape is the ultimate solution for high-performance industrial applications requiring superior durability, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. Its enhanced thickness and compliance with global certifications make it a trusted choice for industries demanding reliable, long-lasting solutions.
