Applications and Performance Features of PTFE-Coated Fiberglass Belting
To start with, let’s frame the conversation around PTFE lightweight belting. PTFE-coated conveyor belting is a small but important segment of the lightweight belting market. It also important to note that PTFE is sometimes referred to as Teflon™, a trademark of DuPont.

PTFE-Coated Open Mesh Fabrics and Belts Offer Exceptional Performance
PTFE-coated open mesh fabrics and belts (PRECISIONMESH) provide outstanding performance for a variety of applications serving many different industries. These fabrics and belts are manufactured from proprietary woven fiberglass substrates that have been heavily coated with PTFE (also known as Teflonä).

Heat Resistant Belts for High Temperature Applications
PTFE-coated fiberglass belts – the most common ones being 2-ply belts – are ideally suited where thermal transfer through the surface of the belt is required in order to predominately seal plastic bags.
Applications Involving Thermal Transfer
High volume bag manufacturing systems often use these types of belts (2-ply) running as a pair creating a clamping effect on the bag. These belts can also be found on air fill or air cushioning packaging machines as a means of allowing continuous heat sealing to take place without the molten plastic sticking to the belt.
