CS Hyde is a supplier and converter of PTFE Tapes made with Teflon™ Fluoroplastic. PTFE (Teflon®) is one of the most chemically inert materials available and it does not support combustion, has a low coefficient of friction, and there are few substances that will stick to its surface. CS Hyde PTFE tapes have unique properties including non-stick, anti-friction, anti-static, high temperature resistance, and chemical resistance. PTFE tapes can either be coated with Teflon™ PTFE or constructed from skived or tensilized PTFE Film. Skived PTFE Tape is made by slicing natural PTFE into layers to achieve nominal thickness.  Tensilized PTFE is made by stretching PTFE Fibers, this process helps create PTFE tape with high density or high tensile strength. 

The most common PTFE coated tape is PTFE Coated Fiberglass or also know as “PTFE heat tape”.  PTFE Fiberglass tapes consist of woven fiberglass fibers coated with Teflon™ PTFE. These tapes are widely used in packaging applications on heat sealers to seal bags or other similar products. PTFE Coated Fiberglass tapes are available with different grades of coating including: Standard and Ultra-Premium grade with either silicone or acrylic adhesive. Other PTFE coated tapes include Optically clear FEP Tape, FST Tape, R-Tape (Roller Tape), Para-Arimid Kevlar® Tape and TFL Laminate Tape.

PTFE Tapes made with Teflon™ Fluoroplastic are available in slit to width rolls, sheets, and die cut parts. All stock products are available for same day shipping. CS Hyde offers discounts on quantity orders, and little to no minimums on custom orders.

Teflon™ PTFE coated fiberglass tapes are made up of fiberglass fabric tighly woven from fiberglass fibers, then coated with Teflon™ PTFE. Fiberglass fabric provides superior dimensional stability while PTFE coating provides a slippery, anti-friction release surface. PTFE Coated fiberglass tape are an excellent product for various packaging applications requiring release properties, extreme temperatures (up to 500ºF), chemical, and environmental resistance. PTFE coated fiberglass can be used to cover heat sealing jaws and elements on various types of equipment such as shrink wrap/L bar, blister packaging, and form/fill/seal machines. Available in standard or premium grade fiberglass, with silicone or acrylic adhesive, with or without peel-off liner. For applications not requiring adhesive backing we also supply Teflon™ PTFE coated fiberglass fabric by the lineal yard. Thicknesses ranging from .003” to .019”.

Standard Grade VS. Ultra Premium Grade Coated Fiberglass Tapes

The main difference between standard grade and premium grade coated fiberglass tapes is the grade of the fiberglass fibers and the amount of PTFE Coating. Our ultra-premium grade (10-SX and 10-AX Series) are composed of higher-grade fiberglass fibers and an extra coating of Teflon™ PTFE.

Silicone VS Acrylic Adhesive Systems

Silicone adhesive

• Recommend for high temperature applicationsIdeal for requiring clean release adhesive removal
  • Silicone Adhesive rated up to 500°F

Acrylic Adhesive

• Recommended for moderate temperature applications
• Acrylic Adhesive rated -40°F to 375°F
• Ideal for applications requiring high initial tack and strong bond adhesion.

Exclusively from CS Hyde comes PVDFstick®, PVDF film laminated with a strong acrylic adhesive for ease of application, positioning, and fastening. PVDFStick® offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, and features a high tensile strength (7,550psi@yield). It also has good thermal stability and can be used in sustained applications up to 300°F.

PVDF is extremely pure, which makes it a good candidate for food applications. When specified, PVDF resin complies with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.510, USDA, 3A sanitary standards and meets ASTM D3222 resin specifications. PVDF can be used as a substitute for Tedlar®, ask for info.

Another feature of PVDFStick® Tape is its high impact resistance and durability. Compared to many thermoplastics, PVDF has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet in thin sections such as films, PVDF components are flexible and transparent.

PVDF film is stable to UV light and the effects of weather. In cold, heat, sunlight and humidity PVDF Film does not wear out or get brittle. PVDF has low NBS smoke generation and superior LOI.
