PTFE & Silicone Rubber Coated

Industrial
Fabrics

 

Taconic PTFE coated fiberglass fabric is lightweight, durable, non-flammable, chemically resistant, and temperature resistant. It provides a nonstick surface, dimensional stability, weather resistance, and strong electrical and thermal insulation performance.

Taconic silicone rubber coated fiberglass fabric offers a tough coated surface with high flex properties, excellent slip coefficient, outstanding release, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Liquid Silicone Rubber fabric provides a non-slip surface, and select grades are approved for direct food contact.
