Lanmar PTFE Zone Tape Item #Zone5-1 is a made-to-order configuration of PTFE coated fiberglass fabric with a high-temperature transfer adhesive applied along the edges to create an adhesive-free center zone. This design is ideal for heat sealing equipment that uses a flexible nichrome ribbon wire heating element, where adhesive in the seal area can cause buildup, sticking, or inconsistent seals. 

Built for Cleaner Seals and Less Downtime

The PTFE surface delivers reliable non-stick release, helping reduce film and residue buildup on sealing components. The edge-adhesive layout keeps the center zone clear for the heating element, supporting consistent heat transfer and cleaner sealing performance.
