PTFE Fabric – Handy Home Uses Those familiar with PTFE products in the commercial arenas such as food service, garment graphics and packaging/sealing industries are
Mesh is PTFE coated fiberglass fabric with apertures of various sizes. Think of a typical screen with different size openings in the weave. In commercial kitchen applications, PTFE mesh is valuable for ventilation, filtration and cooking processes where airflow is a desired property for the given foodservice application, all while maintaining its non-stick properties.
It can be very useful on grills that do not exceed 550°F and where there is no flame contact with the PTFE fabric. When these conditions are met, the material’s heat resistance and non-stick properties make it ideal for controlled commercial cooking environments to supply consistent results. PTFE is particularly valuable in high-volume operations that prioritize quick release and easy cleaning.
Overall mesh fabric size could be up to 60 inches wide and 36 yards long. Then you have to consider aperture size, which is the size of the mesh openings. A common aperture size is 4mm square. The selection of appropriate mesh and aperture sizing depends on the specific commercial kitchen application or desired end result. Before selecting mesh size, consider factors such as ventilation systems and specialized cooking processes requiring a particular airflow, the amount of food contact and the desired release.
