PTFE film tapes provide the non-stick, chemical-resistant performance of pure PTFE in a thin, highly conformable tape without the added thickness of a fiberglass backing. Lanmar stocks two PTFE film tape constructions so you can match the material to your process, surface, and dimensional requirements.
High Modulus PTFE Film Tape (Premium Grade)
High modulus PTFE film tape is made from oriented PTFE film for low elongation and improved wear resistance. It holds its shape under tension and repeated thermal cycling, making it ideal where dimensional stability matters.
Common uses include:
-
Heat sealing jaws and contact surfaces
-
Transformer and coil manufacturing (wire wrapping, insulation layers)
-
Electrical insulation for capacitors and slot liners
Skived PTFE Film Tape (Standard Grade)
Skived PTFE film tape is produced by skiving PTFE block material into a thin film. It offers higher elongation and excellent conformability, allowing it to wrap irregular surfaces without wrinkling while still providing low friction and chemical resistance.
Common uses include:
-
Wire and coil insulation
-
High-temperature masking and protection
-
Anti-friction surfaces and sliding interfaces
-
General high-heat applications requiring tight conformability
Both constructions are available with high-temperature silicone adhesive. Skived PTFE film tape is often supplied self-wound without a liner, and all products are available custom-slit to your required widths from stock. Need an equivalent?
