Product Description |
|
 DuraStick® Gold Tapes utilize
DuraLam® Gold Fabrics but have the added benefit of an adhesive
on one side. These tapes are manufactured from PTFE coated woven
fiberglass substrates, utilizing AFC’s proprietary coating
formulations and have a silicone or acrylic adhesive system.
Our DuraStick® Gold Tapes are specifically engineered to
maximize application life, while minimizing down time in the
most demanding environments. DuraStick® Gold Tapes are non-stick;
offer excellent release and are resistant to oils, grease and
chemicals. DuraStick® Gold Tapes are available in either
an extremely smooth surface for maximum release or a texturized
finish for a mechanical release. The texturized surface provides
a mechanical bond or seal, which is desired in many heat-sealing
applications. DuraStick® Gold Tapes are more abrasion resistant
and maintain their low coefficient of friction even after prolonged
service. DuraStick® Gold Tapes are excellent for use in the
most challenging applications, such as PVC window welding, food
processing, IV Bags sealing, Mylar Balloons sealing, rubber extruding,
flexible packaging as well as many other applications. DuraStick®
Gold Tapes have been designed to out perform and out last all
competitive products.

DuraStick® Gold Tapes Characteristics |
|
DuraStick® Gold 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, durability, excellent tensile strength, and extremely
low elongation (<1%). The addition of an adhesive on one side
eliminates the need for mechanical fastening. Tapes with silicone
adhesive operate over a wide temperature range, -100°F to
500°F (-73°C to 260°C), while tapes with acrylic
adhesive 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.
