The field of application

PTFE conveyor belts are used for drying, fixing and laminating. They are suited to belt speeds of up to 60 m/min and roller diameters of 90 mm upwards. PTFE-coated, open-mesh leno fabrics made from aramid (warp) and fiberglass (weft) are perfect as textiles. Mesh widths of 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 or 5x5 are available for selection.

The properties of the dimensionally stable and tear-resistant leno fabric combine perfectly with the advantages of PTFE coating:

  • Temperature-resistant with low thermal expansion
  • Chemical resistant
  • Physiologically safe
  • Anti-adhesive and sliding properties
