Typical Properties

Features and Benefits of Versiv Superior Release PTFE Fabrics

  • Smooth superior release surface, allowing for clean release without a need to use costly and time requiring spraying methods
  • No risk of cross contamination between production batches
  • Temperature resistance up to 500°F in continuous service, making it suitable for processes that involve both hot and cold materials
  • These composites resist various chemicals and substances, helping to maintain its effectiveness even in challenging manufacturing environments
  • Low maintenance: these superior quality release surface can be reused time after time, reducing downtime and the need for cleaning or scraping.
  • Available as pressure sensitive adhesive tapes for optimal performance in range of applications
  • Enhanced Product Quality: By preventing adhesion and sticking, Versiv Superior Release helps improve the quality of manufactured products, reducing defects and damage during release process.
  • Increased Productivity: The easy release of materials from molds and surfaces can lead to increased productivity.
  • Consistency: Consistent release performance ensures reliable results across various production runs.

Common Applications

Composites Manufacturing
Versiv Superior Release materials are frequently used as release sheets or belts in the manufacturing processes of composite materials. The controlled texture of the fabrics allows for a desired finish on the surface of the composite, while the smooth surface allows for optimal release, improving the quality of the final product.
General Industrial Applications
This release aid can be used in various other industrial applications where materials need to be released from molds or equipment, such as in the production of ceramics, electrical components, and more.
Rubber Processing
In the rubber industry, Versiv is used to aid conveying the rubber through the curing ovens and allowing for release of rubber materials from equipment. This is especially important in tire manufacturing and the production of other rubber products.
PVC Window Welding
Versiv is used to cover the heating surfaces in the PVC window welding industry. Applying Versiv helps prevent the PVC from sticking to the mold during cooling or curing processes. This property is valuable as PVC welding represents a common bottleneck as waste melt may accumulate on platens, sticking to the table and creating an uneven work surface.
Aerospace and Automotive Industries
Aerospace and automotive manufacturers often use Versiv Superior Release liners in the production of various components, such as composite panels, interior parts, and exterior body panels. It ensures that these parts can be easily released from molds and maintain their desired surface finish.
