Industrial PTFE Fabrics & Mesh Rolls
Non-stick PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) materials are highly valued in custom fabrications and various industrial applications due to their exceptional non-stick, high-temperature resistance, and chemical resistance properties. These materials provide unique advantages in manufacturing, processing, and production environments.
Common industrial applications of non-stick PTFE materials include:
Seals and Gaskets: PTFE gaskets and seals are used in industries where chemical resistance, non-stick properties, and high-temperature resistance are essential, such as in chemical processing, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Conveyor Belts: PTFE conveyor belts are used in food processing, packaging, and industrial applications to transport materials through high-temperature processes without sticking.
Release Liners: PTFE release liners are employed in adhesive tape and label manufacturing, ensuring that adhesive materials do not stick to the backing during storage and application.
Heat Sealing: PTFE films and tapes are used in heat sealing applications to prevent materials from adhering to heated surfaces during sealing processes.
Expansion Joints: PTFE expansion joints are utilized in pipelines and ducts to accommodate thermal expansion, resist corrosion, and maintain a non-stick interior surface.
Textile Industry: PTFE-coated fabrics are employed in the textile industry for applications such as conveyor belts, fusing presses, and heat-sealing equipment.

FAQs
What is PTFE mesh used for?
PTFE mesh combines the essential properties of PTFE with the benefits of mesh fabric, making it ideal for processes requiring even distribution of air, heat or moisture. Its non-stick surface and release, heat resistance, and chemical and weather resistance make it perfect for:
- Dehydration processes
- Smoking applications
- Drying operations
- Any application requiring both airflow and release properties
Â
These versatile properties make PTFE mesh an essential element used in food processing, industrial manufacturing and specialized processing applications.
What is the difference between PTFE and expanded PTFE?
Expanded PTFE (ePTFE) is stretched PTFE which forms a microporous structure, dramatically increasing the material’s porosity. While ePTFE retains all the core properties of standard PTFE, it also allows for permeability of gases and vapors while remaining waterproof. In contrast, non-expanded PTFE blocks gases and vapors entirely, making the expanded version ideal for applications requiring both PTFE’s properties plus breathability.
What are PTFE Mesh Rolls primarily used for?
PTFE rolls are a form of packaging of PTFE fabric or mesh for easy and economical transportation. PTFE Rolls are generally converted to sheets for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. The roll format allows for efficient customization and sizing to meet diverse operational needs across different industries and applications.
