Protek Fire Retardant Threads

Overview

Protek PTFE Coated Fiberglass threads are made by twisting fiberglass yarns and then coating them with PTFE, a synthetic fluoropolymer. This coating process enhances the already impressive attributes of fiberglass, making the threads highly resistant to heat, chemicals, and friction.

Key Features

• High-Temperature Resistance: PTFE Coated Fiberglass threads can withstand temperatures ranging from -70°C to +260°C (-94°F to +500°F) while retaining 100% strength, making them suitable for use in extreme temperature conditions.
• Chemical Resistance: These threads are resistant to most chemicals, including acids and alkalis, ensuring durability and longevity in harsh chemical environments.
• Low Coefficient of Friction: The PTFE coating provides a smooth, non-stick surface, reducing friction and wear on the threads.
• High Tensile Strength: Fiberglass threads are known for their high tensile strength, which is further enhanced by the PTFE coating, making them robust and durable.
• UV and Weather Resistance: The threads are resistant to UV radiation and various weather conditions, ensuring their performance is not compromised over time.

Recommended Use

• Industrial Fabrics: Used in the manufacture of conveyor belts, filtration fabrics, and insulation covers, where high-temperature resistance and durability are crucial.
• Aerospace and Automotive: Ideal for components that require high strength and resistance to heat and chemicals, such as gaskets and seals.
• Marine Applications: Used in boat covers, sails, and other marine fabrics due to their resistance to water, UV, and salt.
• Electrical Insulation: Suitable for electrical insulation applications, thanks to their non-conductive and heat-resistant properties.
• Protective Clothing: Utilized in the production of fire-resistant and chemical-resistant clothing for industrial safety.
