High Performance PTFE Products

Alpha’s High Performance PTFE Division delivers superior quality PTFE coated fabrics, engineered belts and specialty tapes for standard and custom applications. PTFE coatings provide a barrier that resists most chemicals and solvents. The addition of fiberglass improves tensile strength and adds resistance to tears, punctures and abrasion. PTFE coatings are non-toxic, odorless and tasteless and have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in food processing, packaging and handling. Alphaglas® fabrics, tapes and belts comply with the requirements of FDA regulation 21 CR177.1550.

PTFE fluorocarbon resins have the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid material, allowing materials to slip, glide and release easily without external lubrication. Additional characteristics include heat and cold resistance, high dielectric strength, dimensional stability and low electrical losses. Applications include non-stick surfaces in the paint, adhesive and food processing industries as well as packaging and flex-intensive applications. Alpha combines PTFE coating advancements with a woven fiberglass substrate to produce fabrics, tapes and belts with excellent release surfaces for a wide variety of materials handling applications.
