High-Performance Fluoropolymer Lay-Flat Bags Offered By Welch Flurocarbon
Standard & Custom Sizes For Applications Requiring High-Performance & Reliability
DOVER, N.H. Dec. 16, 2004 --- Welch Fluorocarbon, an industry leader in manufacturing components from thin high-performance films, announces its lay-flat fluoropolymer bag product line. are chemically inert, non-wettable, non-contaminating; are able to withstand extreme temperatures -- -400°F to 400°F; are impact- and tear- resistant; and unaffected by outdoor elements. These features make the lay-flat bags extremely attractive to applications requiring reliable performance in industries ranging from agriculture to biomedicine.
According to Welch Fluorocarbon's Vice President David Midgley, "In addition to standard sizes, we manufacture virtually any size of custom lay-flat bag. Many lab, clean room, pharmaceutical and scientific applications rely on containers made of materials like glass or stainless steel with high cost and durability drawbacks. The same can be said for consumer and military food packaging, drug distribution, even forensic sampling. More and more applications benefit from the advantages of durable fluoropolymer bags as replacements for traditional containers or as liners for them," he concluded.
Specialized Materials & Manufacturing Processes
The custom and standard-sized bags feature heat-sealed seams produced to the same standard that Welch Fluorocarbon developed for NASA. Welch manufactures lay-flat bags from a broad array of fluoropolymers, including: Teflon(R) FEP and PFA, Modified PTFE, Tefzel(R) ETFE, Tedlar(R) PVF; as well as customer supplied materials.
