“Fat” PTFE Tape

CS Hyde is offering a unique new “Fat” Teflon® Tape with thicknesses well above the thin gauge standard product offering.Most PTFE Tapes with adhesive are offered in thicknesses from .003” up to a maximum thickness of .010”. Fat Teflon Tape is available from .020” thick up to .125” thick.

Fat PTFE is a conformable, nonreinforced Skived Teflon (PTFE) Tape with pressure sensitive adhesive on one side. It is specifically designed for applications where thin Teflon tapes are not enough. Fat PTFE has the heft, density and mass that make it very desirable for applications where thicker materials are a must. The new Fat Tape has all the other excellent characteristics associated with standard Teflon tapes: superior insulating strength; non-stick surface; comformable and flexible; resistance to extreme temperatures (-100°F to 400°F); chemical, heat and moisture resistance; it is non-porous, provides excellent release, is self-lubricating, anti-friction and has excellent dielectric strength.

Uses include: insulating and masking tape, high temp tape, anti-stick release tape, friction reduction, cover metals to create sliding surface, reduce noise, chute liner and guide rails and aircraft mold release.

It is available in 36-yard roll length or economical 5-yard rolls; from 1/2” to 12” wide. The tape is also available in 12” wide sheets. Fat Teflon can be fabricated into custom die-cut parts, discs, squares, donuts, gaskets, etc. It is available with high temp silicone or acrylic adhesive.
