Description
Skived PTFE film is manufactured through a skiving process, resulting in a thin, flexible sheet with outstanding properties. This process involves slicing a block of PTFE to achieve a precise, thin film, characterized by high tensile strength, exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and excellent dielectric properties.
APPLICATIONS ACROSS INDUSTRIES
The versatility of skived PTFE film enables its use in numerous applications:
1. Electrical Industry: Skived PTFE film is extensively utilized as an insulating material in the electrical industry due to its excellent dielectric properties. It’s applied in cables, capacitors, and other electrical components to ensure safety and efficiency.
2. Industrial Manufacturing: In industrial settings, the film serves as a release liner, preventing adhesion during the manufacturing process. Its non-stick properties make it ideal for molds, chute linings, and conveyor systems.
3. Medical Field: Skived PTFE film finds use in medical applications due to its biocompatibility and resistance to harsh chemicals. It is used in medical tubing, catheters, and as a non-stick surface for medical devices.
4. Aerospace Engineering: The film is employed as a protective barrier against extreme temperatures and chemicals in aerospace applications, contributing to the durability and safety of components.
UNIQUE BENEFITS OF SKIVED PTFE FILM
