Description
DuraFlow® Kevlar® Mesh fabrics are manufactured from woven Kevlar® substrates that have been coated with PTFE. The DuraFlow® Kevlar® Mesh series is an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications or in drying applications where there is steam or moisture. DuraFlow® Kevlar® Mesh fabrics are dramatically higher in tensile and tear strengths. These fabrics are manufactured from proprietary woven Kevlar® with openings that range from 1/16" to 1/4."
Properties
DuraFlow® Kevlar® Mesh Fabrics are engineered to maintain their unique flexibility, dimensional stability, dielectric and tensile strength, and non-stick properties, while performing under the harshest environmental conditions. AFC's fabrics are abrasion, tear & puncture, and fire resistant, chemically resistant, and maintain their unique properties under pressure and extreme temperatures: -100ºF to 575ºF (-73ºC to 302ºC). DuraFlow® Kevlar® Mesh Fabric have received USDA and NSF approval for direct food contact and are FDA compliant (21 CFR177.1550).
