Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a Fluoropolymer that has a large number of industrial applications because of its many properties. One brand name for PTFE is Teflon®, which is well-known for its non-stick and heat-resistant properties.

The properties that make Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE so useful include:
Its properties mean that we commonly know it as a non-stick coating for cookware (where its inertness & heat resistance are of particular importance.
PTFE was an accidental discovery, made in by a DuPont engineer who was working on refrigeration. That happy accident led to the creation of an industry.
PTFE coating is the process of coating items in PTFE. This is primarily done with two coats (a primer & a top coat). The PTFE coating is applied to areas where either a low friction, a corrosion-resistant or a dry lubricant is required.
To coat a product with PTFE, it will need to be prepared first of all. This can be done by degreasing or blasting the material (depending upon what it is) followed by the coating process. The coating will then be heated in an oven to form a dry coating. It will typically be 15 to 35 microns depending upon the customer specification and the number of coats of PTFE that have been applied.
There are different grades of coating depending upon the application (food-grade coating, for example requires a different application to an industrial grade).
The properties listed above show many of the properties that make PTFE a unique fluoropolymer. Because of these it has many advantages. The main ones are:
JVC are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
There are some disadvantages to PTFE which give the product some limitations. For example, when overheated, it can release mildly toxic fumes. In addition, its abrasion-resistance is not as good as a number of other coatings and so abrasion resistance isn’t its primary advantage.
Disadvantages of the material are only relative to the application: in many ways, PTFE is a wonder material but it can’t be used for everything. Depending on the application, the following disadvantages can rule out the selection of PTFE:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE ) is a fluoropolymer that has a large number of industrial applications due to its many properties. One brand name for PTFE is Teflon®, which is known for its non-stick and heat resistant properties.
The properties that make PTFE or polytetrafluoroethylene so useful include
low friction
inert
Self-cleaning
Durable
Effective over a wide range of temperatures
Non-flammable
Corrosion resistant
High resistance
Its properties mean that what we often call the non-stick coating of cookware is particularly important for its inertness and heat resistance.
PTFE was discovered by accident in by a DuPont engineer working in refrigeration. That happy accident led to the birth of an industry.
PTFE-coated fibreglass fabrics or PTFE sheets, made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coated glass fibres are mainly used in packaging and sealing devices to prevent foils from sticking to strips and sealing jaws.
In addition, PTFE-coated fibreglass fabric is used as a sliding material while moving products horizontally on tables, production lines, etc. In vertical packaging machines, PTFE-coated fibreglass fabrics are used to adhere to tubes where products are dropped. PTFE-coated fibreglass fabrics are also used as a sliding material in internal transport machines, pallets and product receivers, and conveyor belts.
Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is commonly known by its parameters, including high temperature resistance, as an insulating material for sealing jaws in sealing machines.
Fibreglass fibre fabrics with a low PTFE content are called PTFE-coated fibreglass porous fabrics. They are used to obtain so-called textures in welding, or embossed woven glass fibre foils. The PTFE content of about 30% of PTFE-coated glass fibre porous is sufficient to use them as anti-stick protection and to provide a nice seam-textured grille.
Uses of PTFE fibreglass cloth.
As insulation for heating elements, e.g. sealing strips in sealing machines
as consumables in sealing machines, packaging machines and conveyors
As a lubricant to prevent adhesion to sticky surfaces
In activities where anti-adhesion is required or where non-adhesive surfaces are used
PTFE Coated Fiberglass Fabric
The most important advantages of PTFE-coated glass fibres include
Prevention of adhesion - PTFE has a low coefficient of friction
Easy to keep the material clean
Dielectric properties
Heat resistance up to +250°C
Flexibility allows it to be used on uneven surfaces
Lack of expansion or contraction during temperature changes
Chemical resistance
Resistance to adverse weather conditions
Resistance to mechanical damage
Resistance to moisture
Among our products you will find PTFE fibreglass fabrics for automatic sealing machines, manual and vacuum packaging machines and other packaging machines. PTFE fibreglass fabrics are an excellent material for insulating the sealing strips of plastic bags during the welding process. In this way they prevent the foil from sticking to the sealing strip and improve the sealing quality and strength of the packaging.
PTFE sheets and PTFE fibreglass fabrics are made of glass fibres coated with PTFE - polytetrafluoroethylene. PTFE is particularly well known for its very good resistance to high temperatures.
PTFE fiberglass fabric is available to variety of sizes, on rolls, or manufactured to your customized requirements.
