Features

• Increased Flexibility: Unsintered PTFE tapes are more pliable and easier to apply to irregular or uneven surfaces due to their lack of sintering.
• Better Adhesion: They often have a better ability to conform to surfaces and adhere to threads and fittings compared to sintered PTFE tapes, which makes them ideal for sealing applications.
• Higher Density: Unsintered PTFE tapes tend to have a higher density than sintered ones, allowing for more effective sealing properties.
• Resistant to Chemicals: Like all PTFE tapes, unsintered PTFE is chemically inert, resistant to most acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive chemicals.
• Temperature Resistance: These tapes can still handle high and low temperatures, typically ranging from -200°C to 260°C (-328°F to 500°F), though they may not have the same thermal stability as sintered PTFE.
• Non-stick and Low Friction: PTFE's non-stick property is present, making it ideal for preventing materials from sticking and minimizing friction.
• Easier to Cut and Shape: Unsintered PTFE tapes are easier to cut or shape, making them more convenient for specific applications that require precision or customization.
• Porous Structure: The unsintered form typically has a more porous structure, which can sometimes enhance its sealing performance in certain applications.

 Applications of PTFE Unsintered Tapes

• Sealing Materials:
  Used to manufacture seals, gaskets, bearings, and other components, particularly in environments where high pressure and corrosive chemicals are present, such as during extraction, transportation, and processing in the petroleum and chemical industries.
  In food processing equipment, conveyor systems, and packaging equipment, it provides long-lasting, reliable sealing solutions in hygienic environments, making it an ideal choice due to its non-toxic, odorless, high-temperature resistance, and non-stick properties.
• Electrical Insulation Materials:
  Unsintered PTFE tape has excellent electrical insulation properties, making it commonly used as an electrical insulation material in the power electronics field.
• Corrosion-Resistant Components:
  This material is often used in equipment that handles strong acids, strong alkalis, and other corrosive substances. It is used to manufacture gaskets for pumps and valves, as well as seals for pipeline flanges, to ensure that no leakage occurs and that the equipment is protected from damage.
• High-Performance Engineering Plastics:
  Unsintered PTFE tape can be used as raw material for engineering plastics, making products like tubes, rods, tapes, sheets, and films. These products are used in high-tech applications such as radar, high-frequency communication equipment, and radio equipment.
• Other Special Applications:
  Unsintered PTFE tape is also used in aerospace and other fields due to its outstanding properties, meeting the requirements of specific working conditions.
  It can also be applied in high-frequency, high-speed cables, robotics, medical devices, military, optical fibers, water filtration, clean drag chains, and anti-static drag chains, among many other areas.
