PTFE Skived (360 Series)

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).
