Alphaglas PTFE-Coated Fiberglass Fabric, Tapes and Belts. June 7, 1999 Alphaglas PTFE-impregnated fiberglass fabric is a strong, highly cleanable, chemical-resistant material with superior performance features for many packaging, material handling and industrial applications. With its smooth, low-friction, non-stick surface, Alphaglas is suitable for release sheets, guide rails and chute linings. Its high tensile strength resists cut-through, tearing and abrasion in all uses. And its operating temperature range from -415°to +600°F meets heat-sealing and other high temperature requirements such as heat containment curtains and thermal insulation for high-temperature gaskets and seals. Alphaglas has excellent dielectric properties and is FDA approved for food processing use. Alphaglas products are available in a range of grades and weights. Fabric grades include Economy, Mechanical, Standard and Premium. Standard weights are 3, 5, 6 and 10 mil. Alphaglas can be specially ordered with crease/tear-resistance coatings, as a semi-conductive product, and with a bondable surface treatment. Alphaglas tapes consist of Alphaglas fabric with a 2-mil pressure-sensitive silicone or acrylic adhesive backing. The tapes are available in 36-yard rolls, in widths starting at 1/4 inch. Typical tape applications include heat-sealing hot-wire and L-bar covers, non-stick roller coverings, chute linings and release surfaces of all kinds. Produced to customer specifications for use on packaging, material handling and heat-sealing equipment, Alphaglas belts are available in widths up to 120 inches in both porous and non-porous grades. The belts are manufactured with sewn reinforced edges and a variety of mechanical and heat-sealed splices. Founded in 1968, Alpha Associates produces a broad line of high-technology industrial fabrics. Alphaglas PTFE-coated fiberglass products are manufactured by Alpha at their new plant in Lakewood, NJ. The Lakewood facility has all equipment and personnel required to handle complete product development and manufacturing operations in-house, a key element in Alpha's rigorous quality assurance program. Onsite production processes include custom slitting, belt fabrication and diecutting. Alphaglas manufacturing lines use state-of-the-art automated machinery to meet closetolerance quality specifications. In addition to their standard products, Alpha offers R&D services and engineered solutions to specific customer requirements. For more information, contact: ALPHA Associates, Inc. |
