Fabrication of PTFE Tapes and Shapes

The fabrication process for making film, sheet and section materials is based on the method where a thin layer of polymer is continuously skived from a sintered cylindrical billet using a lathe with a flat cutting tool. Unlike a PTFE parts fabrication technique based on lathing where cuttings are viewed as waste, this process is actually aimed at producing continuous cuttings which are a finished product.
 
Our company uses a process which enables us to fabricate skived tape, film and square and rectangular shapes.
 
In accordance with GOST 24222-80, PTFE-processing industries fabricate the following types of films (tapes): capacitor tape, electrical tape, insulating tape and spacer film with a thickness of 5 μm to 3 mm.
 
The following product range can be fabricated in the PTFE skiving and shaping workshop:
 
  • PTFE tape of the PN grade (in accordance with GOST 24222-80) with a thickness of 0.2 to 3 mm and a width of 40 to 150 mm;
  • PTFE films of the EN, IO, IN  grades  (in accordance with GOST 24222-80)  with a thickness of 0.02 to 0.2 mm and a width of 20 to 120 mm;
  • PTFE-based tape made from  the F4K15M5-L compound (in accordance with the specifications TU 6-05-05-138-80)  with a thickness of 1 to 2 mm and a width of 40 to 150 mm;
  • PTFE-based tape made from  the F4K20 compound (in accordance with the specifications TU 6-05-05-138-80) with a thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm and a width of 20 to 150 mm;
  • Shapes with circular or rectangular sections made from PTFE and PTFE-based compounds (F4K20, F4K15M5) with side dimensions of 0.2 to 15 mm. 

PTFE skived tape can be used as a gasket material in electrical and heating engineering, and is used as a material for fabrication of gaskets with a thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm.

 
PTFE-based tape made from the F4K15M5-L compound can be used for making self-lubricating guides for CNC machines. PTFE-based tapes made from the F4K20 compound can be used as blanks for making rings for hydraulic and air cylinders.
 
PTFE shapes are the product of choice for sealing large-diameter cups and shafts and are also used for making split sealing rings.
