Applications
Aircraft composites manufacturing
PTFE coated fiberglass fabric is widely used in various aircraft composite manufacturing process, including vacuum bagging technique, open molded and hand lay-up process.
PTFE bleeder cloth and PTFE mold release tape will be used directly to the mold and product, allowing for a easy and clean release after the curing process of aircraft composite. ESONE porous PTFE fabric can ensure perfect release while maintaining the breathable property, which can allow air and volatiles to escape during production. And due to the high mechanical strength of mold release tape, ESONE adhesive fabric is reusable and provide clean release.
The applications including helicopter rotor blades, satcom, weather radomes and others
Wind Turbine Blades Release
This application also use PTFE porous fabric and PTFE adhesive fabric. We customize PTFE porous fabric with balanced porosity & release property, and has high mechanical strength. For PTFE adhesive fabric, our mold release tape is easy release and has high mechanical strength, so that it can be reused many times easily.
ESONE PTFE fabric also names as heat resistant peel ply, this allows for the composite to be peeled from fabric after it is cured, and the result is a perfectly smooth surface.
PTFE Radome Cover
Due to the low dielectric constant, low loss tangent and low interference with microwave frequencies, ESONE high performance PTFE coated fiberglass fabric is the perfect solution for radome cover for devices such as satellite terminal, portable radomes for VSAT, flexible planar radomes, Fly Away satellite communications terminals, and microwave communication antennas.
Meanwhile, ESONE PTFE coated fabric has strong mechanical strength, which is easy to install and can prevent bird’s peck.
Convoluted Tubes & Wire wrap insulation
Due to the high dielectric strength of PTFE and strong mechanical strength of glass fiber, PTFE coated fabric is the great solution for shielding of electrical cables and individual components.
What’s more, since PTFE tape or fabric offer abrasion resistant insulation and low friction surface, ESONE’s product can serve the most demanding industrial electrical needs in modern aircraft industry.
