PTFE coated fiberglass fabric and silicone coated fiberglass fabric

Taconic PTFE coated fiberglass fabrics are engineered for high temperature industrial applications requiring non-stick release, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and long service life. Our PTFE fiberglass fabric materials are widely used in heat sealing, food processing, composite molding, conveyor belting, packaging, aerospace, and laminating applications.

Taconic silicone rubber coated fiberglass fabric offers a tough coated surface with high flex properties, excellent slip coefficient, outstanding release, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Liquid Silicone Rubber fabric provides a non-slip surface, and select grades are approved for direct food contact.

Available in multiple constructions including premium grade, open mesh, porous, anti-static, silicone coated, and crease resistant styles, Taconic coated fiberglass fabrics are designed to support demanding industrial processing environments where heat resistance, airflow, release performance, and durability are critical.

Fabric FAQ

Common questions about
PTFE coated fabrics.

Use these answers as a starting point when selecting PTFE coated fiberglass fabric, PTFE glass cloth, silicone coated fabric, or specialty coated fabric constructions for industrial processing applications.

What is PTFE coated fiberglass fabric?

PTFE coated fiberglass fabric is a woven fiberglass substrate coated with PTFE to create a durable, high temperature, non-stick surface. It is commonly used for release sheets, heat sealing, conveyor belts, composite molding, packaging, and other industrial processing applications.

What temperature can PTFE coated fabric withstand?

Taconic PTFE coated fabrics have typical operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. Silicone rubber coated fabrics are typically rated from -100°F to 450°F, while other specialty constructions vary by coating type and fabric construction.

What industries use PTFE coated fabrics?

PTFE coated fabrics are used in food processing, aerospace, packaging, composite molding, PVC welding, chemical processing, lamination, drying, and conveyor belt applications where release, heat resistance, chemical resistance, or airflow are required.

What is the difference between PTFE and silicone coated fabrics?

PTFE coated fabrics are commonly selected for high temperature release, chemical resistance, low friction, and dimensional stability. Silicone coated fabrics are often selected for flexibility, grip, abrasion resistance, and applications where a tougher elastomeric surface is preferred.

Are PTFE coated fabrics FDA compliant?

Select Taconic PTFE coated fiberglass fabrics and silicone coated fabric constructions are FDA compliant for food contact applications. Always review the individual product data or contact Taconic to confirm the correct construction for your process requirements.
