Renowned for its non-stick properties, PTFE film ensures effortless release, making it ideal for applications where friction reduction and non-stick properties are paramount. Although its non-stick properties can be ideal, it can also make it extremely hard to bond to itself or another substrate. CS Hyde specializes in PTFE adhesive lamination and can apply a variety of adhesives to various PTFE film thickness. Adhesive backed PTFE can be supplied in rolls, sheets, or die cut parts.
The types of adhesives we apply include Acrylic, High Bond Acrylic, and Silicone.
Whether it's in food processing, industrial machinery, or aerospace technology, etched PTFE film exhibits superior application properties bondable to your application.
Common Questions:
Does etching alter the properties of PTFE?
Etching consists of altering the chemical composition of the fluoropolymer and not necessarily the material itself. Etching only affects a depth of a few angstroms or (one ten millionth of a millimeter) in correlation to the thickness of the PTFE and does affect its physical properties throughout the entirety of the film.
Appearance of Etched PTFE?
In comparison to natural skived PTFE the non-treated side will a blue/gray color instead of pure white in correlation to our skived PTFE. The etched side will have a light tan to dark brown coloration like a wood grain finish. This may look streaky or blotchy in appearance. This coloration can alter from one lot to another and can be visually lighter or darker depending on thickness of the PTFE.
Etched PTFE Availability?
We manufacture specialty film tapes derived from etched PTFE, so we commonly have etched material in stock. If you’re looking for a large roll length, custom width, or a specific etched film thickness, please submit an RFQ and we can quote the most accurate lead time for delivery. For online orders the standard lead time is 2-3 business days.
