Dimensionally stable, Versiv PTFE-coated glass cloths combine the mechanical properties of woven fabrics with the chemical resistance of PTFE.
These non-stick release, barrier protection, friction control, and dielectric control insulation solutions are used in the industrial, energy, medical and electronics sectors. They are ideal for manufacturers who want to optimise performance and efficiency in challenging processes and operational environments.
PTFE coated fabrics have ability to withstand extreme temperatures (-238ºF to +500ºF / -150ºC to +260ºC).
High dielectric strength & low dielectric constant: Ideal for electrical insulation
Provide top performance in microwave curing/drying applications
Radio frequency signal transparent
Low electrical loss: Ensuring the highest level of signal integrity
Wide range of thicknesses and widths: Versatility to suit diverse project demands
Customisable surface finishes, ranging from smooth to textured and porous
Bondable versions for products requiring bonding to other surfaces
Customised to include different range of splices & edging, as belts, sheets and components
Applications
Aerospace
PTFE-coated fabrics can withstand extreme temperatures, making them ideal for aerospace applications where components are exposed to high heat, such as in aircraft engines and aerospace manufacturing processes involving curing or molding at high temperatures. PTFE coated standard glass fabrics enhance the efficiency, durability, and reliability of aerospace components and systems.
PVC Windows manufacturing
Versiv PTFE-coated glass fabrics aid window manufacturing applications by acting as efficient release agents, providing heat, abrasion and chemical resistance, flexibility and easy cleaning.
Automotive manufacturing
Non-stick release properties ofPTFE-coated glass cloths are used in moulds, presses, and other tools to prevent adhesion of materials like rubber, plastic, or composite materials. This ensures easy release of moulded parts, reducing production
Dielectric insulation
The fabrics are ideal for electrical insulation due to their high dielectric strength and low dielectric constant, providing excellent performance in microwave and other RF curing/drying applications.
Key Takeaways
Versiv PTFE-coated glass fabrics are valued for their versatility and dimensional stability. A combination of the mechanical properties of woven fabrics and the chemical resistance of PTFE coating accounts for their prevailing use in the food, energy, medical and electronics sectors.
Rigorous testing standards
Versiv develops custom application testing based on each of our partner’s product uses in order to create the best possible solution.
