Features and Benefits
  • Expertly designed to provide specialised performance for dryer belts and bleeder cloth used for composite moulding.
  • The porous products can also be made with specific porosity ranges.
  • Chemically resistant.
  • Mechanically strong, making it an ideal choice for belting and release applications requiring control airflow.
  • Temperature resistant up to 260°C (500°F).
  • Different finished available, including a flat surface and reliable airflow at all times.
  • The porous PTFE products can also be made with specific porosity ranges for composite moulding. This ensures consistent performance.

Applications
Composite molding
The smooth yet-porous surface prevents composite materials, such as resins or fiberglass, from sticking to the mold or tooling. This non-stick characteristic simplifies the demolding process, reducing the risk of damage to the composite part and minimizing the need for mold release agents.
Textile drying
The material provides improved airflow which reduces drying times and ensures even drying across the entire surface of the textile.
Porous PTFE fabrics of high value in environments that require reliable airflow
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Versiv PTFE coated porous fabrics are available provide long-term, high-quality performance. They are of high value in environments that require reliable airflow, with relevance to ensuring specific airflows in dryer belts and bleeder cloths.
Rigorous testing standards
Versiv develops custom application testing based on each of our partner’s product uses in order to create the best possible solution. Some tests that are included but are not limited to environmental, durability, and reliability testing to give you peace of mind making sure that products work in the hardest environments. Our testing begins during the co-development process to develop relevant tests and gather data that allows us to create market-ready solutions quickly.
Some of our tests:
  • FTMS 191A-5041

  • FTMS 191A-5030

  • FTMS 191A-5102

  • FTMS 191A-5136

  • ASTM D149-81
