Typical Properties

Features and Benefits of Porous PTFE Coated Fabric

  • Expertly designed to provide specialized performance for dryer belts and bleeder cloth used for composite molding.
  • The porous products can be made with specific porosity ranges.
  • Chemically resistant.
  • Mechanically strong, making it an ideal choice for belting and release applications requiring control airflow.
  • Temperature resistant up to 500°F (260°C).
  • Different finished available, including a flat surface and reliable airflow at all times.

Common Applications

Porous PTFE fabrics of high value in environments that require reliable airflow
Composite molding
The smooth yet-porous surface prevents composite materials, such as resins or fiberglass, from sticking to the mold or tooling. This non-stick characteristic simplifies the demolding process, reducing the risk of damage to the composite part and minimizing the need for mold release agents.
Textile drying
The material provides improved airflow which reduces drying times and ensures even drying across the entire surface of the textile.
