With a fully integrated process, including etching and adhesive, 3P offers high stability adhesive tapes and films.
PTFE features a very low coefficient of friction, which is useful to protect components in contact. it is also used to as a low friction liner between moving parts.
Adhesive tapes are based on high quality PTFE skived tape. PTFe is natrually non-adhesive. A surface treatment, etching, overcomes non-sticking properties of PTFE and allows bonding to another surface.
3P uses the sodium ammonia etching process, which is the most effective and longer-lasting way of etching.
Adhesive tapes are provided with silicon or acrylic adhesive.
Acrylic adhesive supports higher strength (20 N/25 mm) and can be used from -55°C to 85°C.
Silicone tape supports 7 N/25 mm and can be used on a wider temperature range, from -85°C to 150°C.
3P is one of the main suppliers of etched or adhesive PTFE films for aeropace industry. Therefore, they can be provided according to custom requirements or according to ASNA 3634 or ABS 5766 requirements respectively.
3P also integrates cutting processes to the required drawing, for easy integration.
