PTFE woven fabric adds flame resistance.


Incorporating a new woven fabric of PTFE PTFE

Assemblages of layers of fibrous composite materials (see illustration) which can be tailored to provide a wide range of engineering properties, including inplane stiffness, bending stiffness, strength, and coefficients of thermal expansion.
 is said to provide an effective barrier against flame and smoke generation. Web 100-40G from Daikin America, Orangeburg, N.Y., is believed to be the only product of its type. On its own, it is rated UL 94V-0, and composites made with it reportedly can easily pass E162, E662, and BSS See 802.11.

 7239 flame tests flame test, test used in the identification of certain metals. It is based on the observation that light emitted by any element gives a unique spectrum when passed through a spectroscope. . Also noteworthy is that the PTFE fabric has no negative effect on composite physical properties, Daikin claims. Tel: (800) 365-9570 * PTDirect: 964JH
