DeWAL offers PTFE-Coated Aluminum Tape
PTFE-coated aluminum reduces friction and wear in dynamic applications.
Saunderstown, RI, May 15, 2008 - DeWAL Industries, Inc. is now manufacturing a PTFE-coated foil that combines a thin layer of PTFE with 0.005" thick aluminum foil.
The aluminum is coated on the other side with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive for a sure grip on metal, glass or ceramic surfaces.
The result, D/W 351, is a heat-resistant tape featuring PTFE's chemical resistance, wide operating temperatures and a low coefficient of friction. The foil backing is comprised of a standard 3003 grade of aluminum. Properties are consistent because of the foil's uniform thickness of 0.005" with a tolerance of +/- 5%.
DeWAL D/W 351 is used in applications like high volume heat-sealing equipment in food packaging and bagging and as a limited use wear strip. D/W 351 is available in widths from 0.5" to 12". The roll length is 11 yards.
DeWAL Industries is ISO 9001:2000 registered.
Since it's founding in 1974, DeWAL has become an industry leader in the manufacture of skived PTFE and UHMW-PE films.
