FEP Film or FEP Tape consists of optically clear Teflon™ film made with Teflon® fluoropolymers. FEP  is used in Stereolithography (SLA), a special form of 3D Printing that works by focusing an ultraviolet (UV) laser onto a vat of photopolymer resin. FEP works well in this style of printing due to its excellent transmission of UV rays, low gas and vapor permeability as well as anti-stick and low friction properties. Other key properties include optical clarity, smooth finish, hydrophobic, superior dimensional stability, immense chemical resistance, excellent electrical properties, and high service temperatures of up to 400°F (200°C). FEP is constructed with silicone adhesive (-100°F to 400°F), which allows for greater adhesion, easy application, and clean removal. FEP without adhesive is also available for welding, heat sealing, and splicing film applications (See Films, FEP).

CS Hyde FEP tape or film can be applied to the resin vat of most DLP, SLA, LCD 3d Printers. FEP tape is backed with silicone adhesive which resists oxygen, ozone, and UV light. Although silicone is the standard adhesive for FEP, acrylic is available upon request. Adhesives help fuse the FEP to the vat, creating a seal between both the print surface and the vat. CS Hyde FEP Tape is available in sheets with peel off liner or in self wound rolls cut to your specifications. Sheets however make the FEP easier to apply. Standard FEP tape is available in .002” film with .0015” silicone adhesive- total .0035” and widths- 1/8”-13”. Other thicknesses are available. FEP film is available in thicknesses .0005” up to .020” sold by the lineal foot, sheet or roll.

*CS Hyde Company has capabilities to cut FEP film to any specification, including specific 3D print bed requirements.

*CS Hyde Company can apply a variety of 3M adhesives customized to specific film size.
