Description

The DuraFlow® Mesh Fabrics 27 Series provide exceptional performance in applications serving a variety of industries. These fabrics are manufactured from proprietary woven substrates that have been heavily coated with PTFE. The resulting products are significantly stronger, more wear resistant, and have better airflow for faster curing and drying. AFC's UV Resistant Mesh Fabrics (28 Series) have all the benefits of the 27 Series Mesh Fabrics, but with the added benefit of UV protection. AFC's DuraFlow® Mesh Fabrics are unsurpassed in their surface, strength, and airflow characteristics, and thus provide the ultimate performance for drying and curing applications.

DuraFlow® PTFE Coated Fabric Characteristics

DuraFlow® Fabrics are engineered to retain the distinctive properties of PTFE; however, by adding a glass fabric to the matrix, AFC is able to obtain the added benefits of dimensional stability, durability, excellent tensile strength and extremely low elongation (<1%). DuraFlow® Fabrics have received USDA approval for food processing and handling, and are FDA compliant (21 CFR177.1550). In addition, the DuraFlow® fabrics can operate in temperatures from -400ºF (-240ºC) under static conditions and -100°F (-73ºC) under dynamic conditions up to 550ºF (288ºC).
