Description
A new generation of films combining the chemical inertness and universal non-stick properties of PTFE polymers with maximum conformability and heat resistance.
Compare the data shown for D7000 versus other materials typically used in composite fabrication in order to understand the superior performance particularly for complex shapes and high temperature resins.
| Film Product | Elongation (%) | Max. Temp. (F) |
|---|---|---|
| D7000 | 450 | 600 |
| Teflon FEP | 300 | 500 |
| Teflon PFA | 430 | 550 |
| Tedlar PVF | 190 | 350 |
| Tedlar PVF | 200 | 350 |
D7000 exhibits superior release qualities over the entire temperature range. It has been successfully used in intermittent service temperature above 600°F. The high elongation allows for superior conformability for irregular shapes.
Consider D7000 for the most advanced thermosetting and thermoplastic resin systems in the curing temperature range of epoxy, phenolic, BMI and comparable resins (350°F-400°F) as well as higher temperatures (600°F) where D7000, in fact, proves to be the only conformable yet thermally stable film available.
