Nonstick fabrics for a host of applications
Taconic PTFE & Silicone Coated Fiberglass Fabrics
Available in premium, standard, mechanical, and economy grades, Taconic PTFE coated fabrics are tailored for continuous service up to 500 °F (260 °C), providing long lasting performance where release, nonstick, and thermal stability are critical.
PTFE Glass Fabric Product Families
Explore the range of Taconic PTFE glass fabrics designed for specific performance, cost, and processing needs.
Premium Grade PTFE Glass Fabric
Premium Grade PTFE glass fabric offers optimum release and durability in harsh environments. Typical applications include reusable pan liners for cooking and baking, laminate separator sheets, tortilla and pizza crust belts, heat sealing surfaces, and applications where fabric weave impression is undesirable.
Standard Grade PTFE Glass Fabric
Standard Grade PTFE glass fabric is used in the widest range of applications due to its combination of high performance and moderate price. Uses include release sheets on heat sealing machines and laminate presses, release surfaces for paints, adhesives, and food products, gaskets, seals, and bearings for chemicals, oils, and gases, thermal insulation for high temperature and chemical resistant applications, and covers on hot platens, chutes, hoppers, and troughs.
Mechanical Grade PTFE Glass Fabric
Mechanical Grade PTFE glass fabric is preferred in applications where economy is more important than maximum resistance to chemicals and solvents. Applications include chemical resistant laboratory aprons, protective curtains for paint spraying and bottle washing, acid protection, and food packaging.
Economy Grade PTFE Glass Fabric
Economy Grade PTFE glass fabric is designed for large volume applications that require cost efficiency and high performance. Typical uses include leaders for processing paper, plastics, metallic foils and cloth, separator sheets for processing uncured rubber, and the manufacture of abrasive wheels.
Porous Bleeder & Filter Cloth
Porous Bleeder and Filter cloth promotes drying by allowing airflow through the fabric. It is used as a release cloth in vacuum molding, filtration, strainers, and pollution abatement.
Crease & Tear Resistant PTFE Glass Fabric
Crease and tear resistant PTFE glass fabric is used where high tear strength and good flex life are required. Typical applications include high speed packaging belts and edge reinforcement for industrial belts in the packaging and plastics industries.
Tac-Black™ Anti-Static / Conductive Fabric
Tac-Black fabric is specially treated to reduce static buildup. It can be provided with carbon loading to offer semi conductive and anti static properties for applications where static control and nonstick performance are both important.
Silicone Rubber Coated Fabric & Open Mesh Options
Beyond PTFE glass fabrics, Taconic offers silicone rubber coated and open mesh fabrics to support a wide range of thermal, electrical, and processing requirements.
Silicone Rubber Coated Fabric
Silicone rubber coated fabric offers a tough coated surface for applications where high flexibility and a high slip coefficient are required. It is an excellent electrical insulator in harsh environments, with high resistance to mild alkali, non oxidizing acids, most salts, mineral lubricating oil, air, moisture, and sunlight. It will release adhesive and viscous materials that often adhere to fluorocarbon resins. Applications include electrical insulation tapes, gaskets, heater covers, safety curtains, conveyor belts for industrial processes, foam manufacturing, shrink tunnels, and release and separator sheets for viscous processes in the chemical, rubber, plastic, electrical, and aerospace industries.
Open Mesh Fabric
Open mesh fabric is often used in the creation of belts because it allows outgassing of volatile products and promotes drying by allowing airflow through the belt. These belts are ideal for drying, curing, and bonding inks, pigments, and powders to fabrics and non woven materials.
