Product Description |
|
 DuraStick®
Skived PTFE Film Tapes are the most conformable and have the
highest elongation of any PTFE tape produced by AFC. These tapes
are manufactured by applying a silicone adhesive* to a skived
PTFE film and are excellent for use in applications where stretch
or conformity is desired. Pure PTFE film tapes, such as these,
exhibit the best chemical, fire and weathering resistance of
any tape manufactured by AFC. In addition, these tapes have exceptional
electrical properties and are ideal for wire and cable insulation
and protection.
*Acrylic adhesive is available upon special
request.

DuraStick® Skived PTFE Film
Tape Characteristics |
|
DuraStick® Skived PTFE Tapes are engineered to retain the
distinctive properties of PTFE; however, by adding an adhesive
to one side, the need for mechanical fastening is eliminated.
These tapes offer high elongation (up to 300%), and provide an
excellent surface when the dimensional stability and pressure
resistance of coated fabric is not required. DuraStick® Skived
PTFE Tapes conform to Mil Spec I-23594C Type I, have received
USDA approval for food processing and handling, are FDA compliant
(21 CFR177.1550), and are suitable for applications with operating
temperatures ranging from -100°F to 500°F (-73°C
to 260°C).
