Taconic PTFE & Silicone Rubber Coated Fabrics
High-performance PTFE coated fiberglass fabrics and silicone rubber coated fabrics engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring release, heat resistance, durability, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance.
Engineered Coated Fabrics for Demanding Applications
Taconic PTFE coated fiberglass fabric is lightweight, durable, non-flammable, chemically resistant, and temperature resistant. It provides a nonstick surface, dimensional stability, weather resistance, and strong electrical and thermal insulation performance.
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.
Performance Advantages
Nonstick Release
PTFE and silicone coated fabrics provide reliable release surfaces for heat sealing, lamination, molding, and food processing.
Heat Resistance
Designed for high-temperature environments where dimensional stability and consistent performance are critical.
Chemical Resistance
Engineered fabric constructions help resist harsh chemicals, oils, solvents, and demanding industrial process conditions.
Durability
Strong coated fiberglass substrates support long service life in abrasive, high-flex, and production-driven applications.
Common Applications
Taconic coated fabrics are used across industries where nonstick release, thermal stability, and dependable processing performance are essential.
Fabric Grades
Premium Grade
Features a heavy PTFE coating for optimum release and durability. Designed for extreme environments where superior release and extended life are critical.
- Reusable pan liners for cooking and baking
- Laminate separator sheets
- Tortilla and pizza crust belts
- Specialized heat sealing
- Applications where fabric weave impression is undesirable
Standard Grade
Used in the widest range of applications due to its combination of high performance and moderate price.
- Release sheets on heat sealing machines
- Laminate press release surfaces
- Nonstick surfaces for paints, adhesives, and food products
- Gaskets, seals, and bearings
- Hot platen, chute, hopper, and trough covers
Mechanical Grade
A medium PTFE coating for applications where economy is more important than maximum chemical resistance and where surface texture is useful.
- Chemical resistant laboratory aprons
- Protective curtains for paint spraying
- Bottle washing, acid protection, and food packaging applications
Economy Grade
Provides a light PTFE coating for large volume applications requiring cost-efficiency and high performance.
- Leaders for processing paper, plastics, metallic foils, and cloth
- Separator sheets for uncured rubber processing
- Abrasive wheel manufacturing
Porous Bleeder & Filter Cloth
Promotes drying by allowing airflow through the fabric. Available in a wide range of porosity and ideal for outgassing volatile products.
- Release cloth in vacuum molding
- Filtration
- Pollution abatement
- Strainers
Open Mesh Fabric
Used for belts that allow airflow and promote drying. Ideal for curing and bonding inks, pigments, and powders to fabrics and non-woven materials.
Tac-Black™ & Anti-Static Fabric
Tac-Black™ is a pigmented fabric for applications where natural fabric is not suitable. Tac-Black™ Anti-Static includes carbon loading for semi-conductive and anti-static properties.
- Release sheets
- Conveyor belts for fusing machines
Crease & Tear Resistant
Offers substantially higher tear strength and flexibility for high-speed applications.
- High speed packaging belts
- Edge reinforcement for industrial belts
Silicone Rubber Coated Fiberglass Fabric
Outstanding dielectric properties, superior release, and high abrasion and flex resistance make silicone rubber coated fiberglass fabrics ideal for demanding environments.
- Electrical insulation tapes and gaskets
- Heater covers
- Safety curtains
- Conveyor belts for foam manufacturing and shrink tunnels
- Release and separator sheets for viscous processes
Liquid Silicone Rubber Fabric
A chemically inert fabric with excellent release properties, available with liquid silicone rubber on both sides or with PTFE on one side and liquid silicone rubber on the other.
- Direct food contact applications
- Non-food contact applications
