Coated Fabrics
Nott Company has been a converter of silicone and PTFE coated fiberglass products since the 1960's. We offer an extensive range of products with PTFE, silicone rubber, and organic rubber coatings on a wide variety of fiberglass and other woven fabric materials. We can apply acrylic and silicone-based pressure sensitive adhesive backings with peel-away liners to most materials. PTFE Coated Fiberglass:Three grades of PTFE coated fiberglass are maintained in our inventory, ranging in thickness from 0.003” to 0.010” with thicker materials available if needed. Nott Company’s PTFE coated fabrics combine the easy release and heat resistance of polytetrafluoroethylene (also known as PTFE or Teflon®) with the strength and dimensional stability of fiberglass, creating a product suited for a variety of demanding industrial applications. Dimensionally stable in a range of temperatures from -100° to +550°F (-73° to 288°C), PTFE coated fabric is non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, and is FDA compliant (21 CFR 177.1550) for use in food processing, packaging and handling. The fabric is made from woven fiberglass cloth that has been coated with PTFE. Premium Grade:These products are constructed of extra heavy PTFE coating on glass fabric. Premium Grade has an extremely slick, non-porous surface. The heavier coating provides a higher dielectric strength and a smoother surface. Typical applications include conveyor belts, specialized heat sealing, motor and generator insulation, armatures, field coil wrapping, phase separators, slot lines, wrapping and splicing cables, and conductors. It is also ideal for gaskets, seals, and bearing liners. Standard Grade:These products are constructed of a standard PTFE coating on glass fabric. Standard Grade contains an optimum balance of substrate weave, strength, finish, and coating weight. Typical applications include fabricated parts for heat sealing, packing machines and hand wrap stations, release sheets for laminating presses, plates and curing (non-porous) materials. Additional applications include belting, gaskets, protective curtains, aprons and clothing. Mechanical Grade:These products are constructed of a thin PTFE coating on glass fabric. Mechanical Grade's construction provides cost effective performance for mechanical applications. Typical uses include belting and conveying, corrosion resistant protective curtains, aprons, and work surface coverings. View our PTFE (Teflon) Coated Fiberglass Chart. Silicone Rubber Coated Fiberglass:Three types of silicone coated fiberglass are maintained in our inventory. View our Coated Fabrics Chart. Standard:These silicone rubber coated fabrics have the best electrical properties along with the greatest pliability. Temperature ranges for this grade are from -85F through +500F. The cross-linked silicone, available on one or two sides, is reinforced with a fiberglass carrier. The standard product is designed with a soft compressible surface. Typical applications include diaphragms, electrical and thermal insulation, gaskets, conveyor belts, shrink tunnel curtains, and release or separator plastics. Thermally Conductive:Thermally conductive products incorporate special fillers in order to gain thermal conductivity. Its fiberglass reinforcement, while supporting the silicone rubber impregnation, provides dimensional stability and cut-through resistance. Temperature ranges for this grade are from -85F through +455F. These fabrics may be die cut into specific sizes and an adhesive with a peel-away liner for ease of application can be laminated onto one side. Applications include heat sink gaskets, heat transfer cushioning, and cost effective replacements for mica and thermally conductive grease. Calender Coated:This calendar-coated reinforced solid silicone rubber is designed to offer a superior smooth surface. Calender-coated products provide increased tensile strength allowing for use in extremely high pressure (up to 1000 PSI) and high temperature (up to +650F). This long-life, reversion (i.e. softening, outgassing) resistant grade is excellent for press pads in extreme temperature and pressure lamination applications, and for other applications involving the tough combination of high load confinement at high temperatures. Rubber Coated Fabrics:We stock a variety of other coated fabrics including combinations of EPDM, Neoprene, SBR, Nitrile, and Hypalon with fabrics including polyester, NomexTM, nylon, and cotton.
