PTFE Zone Tape is a specialized type of tape made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated fiberglass fabric, with a section of acrylic adhesive applied only to the edges, leaving the center non-adhesive. This design allows for high heat resistance, non-stick properties, and durability, making it ideal for heat-sealing applications, packaging, and industrial processes where a smooth, release surface is required. The adhesive zones ensure secure attachment while preventing sticking in critical areas, commonly used in heat sealing bars, form-fill-seal machines, and various manufacturing processes.

Key Features:

• Heat Resistance: Can withstand temperatures up to 500°F (260°C), making it suitable for high-heat environments.
• Non-Stick Surface: The PTFE coating provides a low-friction, non-stick surface that prevents materials from adhering to it.
• Adhesive-Free Zone: Designed for applications where a portion of the tape must remain free of adhesive, preventing unwanted sticking.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most chemicals, acids, and solvents, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
• High Tensile Strength: Reinforced with fiberglass for added strength and durability.
• Dimensional Stability: Maintains its shape and properties even under continuous high-temperature exposure.

Applications:

• Heat Sealing & Packaging: Used in impulse sealers and heat-sealing machines where non-stick and heat-resistant properties are required.
• Roller Wrapping: Commonly used in printing, textile, and packaging industries to wrap rollers while leaving adhesive-free areas for smooth operation.
• Laminating & Composite Manufacturing: Applied in industrial laminating processes to prevent adhesion while allowing controlled bonding.
• Aerospace & Automotive: Used in manufacturing processes where non-stick and high-temperature resistance are essential.

Types of PTFE Zone Tape:

• Custom Width & Adhesive-Free Zones: Available in various widths and adhesive-free zone configurations to meet specific industry needs.
