Product Description |
|
DuraStick® Anti-Static & Thermal Conductive series 254
tapes utilize DuraFab® Fabrics but have the added benefit
of an adhesive on one side. These tapes are black in color and
are specially formulated to dissipate surface static build-up
and allow optimal thermal conductivity. These tapes are manufactured
from woven fiberglass substrates, have an optimum PTFE (Fluon®)
content, leave a minimal fabric impression, and have our Super
Stick Clean Release silicone adhesive or an acrylic adhesive
system. Because of the glass reinforcement, this series of tape
is resistant to “cold-flow,” a characteristic inherent
in pure unsupported PTFE films, these tapes are an excellent
choice when cut through, load carrying, or harsh industrial environments
require the unique surface characteristics of PTFE. DuraStick®
Anti-Static & Thermal Conductive series 254 is a very durable
and versatile product which makes it an ideal material for heat
sealers, form-fill-seal equipment, high speed poly bag manufacturing,
lining of guide rails, chutes and slides and for release applications
in the aerospace industry.

DuraStick® Anti-Static & Thermal
Conductive Tape Characteristics |
|
DuraStick® Anti-Static & Thermal Conductive tapes are
engineered to retain the distinctive properties of PTFE; however,
by adding a glass fabric to the matrix, AFC is able to obtain
the added benefits of dimensional stability, excellent tensile
strength and extremely low elongation (<1%). In addition,
the DuraStick® Anti-Static & Thermal Conductive tapes
with silicone adhesive operate over a wide temperature range,
-100°F to +500°F (-73°C to 260°C), while tapes
with acrylic adhesives operate over a narrower range of temperatures,
-40°F to 350°F (-40°C to 177°C).

Disclaimer: All figures provided in the above table are based
upon ASTM D 4969-97, the Standard Specification for Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) Coated Glass Fabric. The above tensile values are based
upon the ASTM D902 test method and are not actual values of AFC’s
materials. The above tensile values are 80% of the figures provided
in Table 6 of specification D579. AFC states that its actual
tensile will be greater than the above material specification
and that actual tensile values will be provided upon request.
AFC measures adhesion according to ASTM D 3654/D 3654M, Standard
Test Methods for Shear Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tapes,
and actual adhesion values will vary. Edge Tear values are based
upon ASTM D1424 (Elmendorf Tearing Test) and are average values
that can vary. |
