Product Description |

 The DuraStick®
Industrial Tapes utilize DuraFab® Industrial Fabrics but
have the added benefit of an adhesive on one side. These tapes
are manufactured from woven fiberglass substrates, possess an
optimal PTFE (Fluon®) content, leave a minimal fabric impression,
and have a proprietary silicone or 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. As AFC’s most popular and
versatile tape series, DuraStick® Industrial Tapes provide
the highest value to customers by offering an excellent balance
of heat transfer, release, and flexibility.

DuraStick® PTFE Coated Tape Characteristics |
|
DuraStick® PTFE Coated 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. |
