Specialty Applications

The unique properties of TEFLON® brand fibers make a number of difficult tasks possible:

If you need a non-stick surface that is flexible with the abrasion resistance of polyester then TEFLON® fibers should be considered.
The temperature and chemical resistance make TEFLON® the perfect replacement for asbestos fiber in chloro-alkali membranes.
The dielectric properties of our fiber make is the perfect solution for high performance electrical insulation that is abrasion resistant.
The ease of processing our fibers makes it the perfect choice for sewing threads where UV resistance is required.

Conveyor Belts

When a porous, non-stick belt surface is required, a conveyor belt woven from TEFLON® fiber may be used. Such belts remain flexible and chemically inert over the temperature range from sub-zero to 500°F (260°C).

Sewing Threads

Threads of TEFLON® PTFE fluoropolymer are used when a combination of good flex strength and thermo-chemical resistance is required. Military specification MIL-T-43435 covers sewing thread of TEFLON® fiber.

Caustic-Chlorine Production

The electrolysis of brine to produce sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and chlorine gas is an industrial process practiced worldwide. Operators make use of the thermo-chemical resistance of short, precision cut fibers of TEFLON® PTFE fluoropolymer to enhance the performance and increase the useful life of components in the electrolytic cells used for this purpose.

Electrical Lacing Cords

Threads and cords of TEFLON® PTFE fluoropolymer fiber are used in lacing cords and binders in the preparation of flat, flexible cables for use in aircraft, aerospace, and other demanding applications
