KOLOFOL supplies PTFE coated glass and aramid fabrics, self-adhesive tapes, heat-sealing and zone tapes, as well as custom PTFE conveyor belts. The range covers a broad industrial product portfolio with custom cutting and converting.
Why PTFE coated glass fabric?
The PTFE coating and glass-fabric substrate combine properties that are particularly valuable in heat processing, packaging, food, electrical and general industrial processes.
Non-stick surface
Low friction and excellent release when processing sticky or molten materials.
-73 °C – +260 °C
Wide operating-temperature range for PTFE coated fabrics.
Chemical resistance
Excellent resistance to many industrial chemicals.
Electrical properties
High dielectric strength and low electrical losses in specialist grades.
Dimensional stability
The glass-fabric substrate provides a stable mechanical base under heat and pressure.
Specialist coatings
Food-grade, antistatic, abrasion-resistant, water/stain-repellent and aramid-substrate solutions.
Standard, premium and specialist PTFE coated fabrics
PTFE coated glass fabrics are available in multiple constructions for release surfaces, heat sealing, packaging, food processing, laminating, electrical insulation and conveyor applications. Selection depends on thickness, PTFE content, surface finish, mechanical load and required width.

Silicone adhesive
High-temperature adhesive system for applications up to 260 °C, typically with a yellow corrugated release liner.
Acrylic adhesive
Alternative adhesive system, typically for applications up to 180 °C, with a smooth blue release liner.
Slitting
The range supports wide master rolls and slitting into narrow tapes down to 5 mm.
Electro
High PTFE content, excellent release, chemical resistance and electrical strength. Typical grades: NYS-Ec, TOS-Ec.
Antistatic black

Heat-Sealing Tapes and Zone Tapes
In impulse and continuous film-sealing equipment, PTFE tape forms a non-stick, heat-resistant release surface between the heating element and the film.
- Fully self-adhesive PTFE glass-fabric tape
- Zone construction: the central heating zone can remain adhesive-free
- Reinforced edges and custom zone widths
- Custom overall width, length and roll size
- Silicone or acrylic adhesive depending on the application
- PVC-Weld for specialist PVC welding applications
The PVC-Weld family combines a smooth PTFE surface with a specialist adhesive system for PVC welding; the manufacturer lists brown, red and green versions.

How to specify the tape dimensions
When ordering, please specify three dimensions: the total tape width the working area width and the thickness. The total tape width is the complete outside width of the tape, while the working area is the width of the central zone actually used in the sealing process.
PTFE Conveyor Belts and Endless Belts
Conveyor belts made from PTFE coated glass or aramid fabric for heat processing, drying, cooking, laminating and packaging processes.
- Closed-surface PTFE glass-fabric belts
- Open-mesh grades for processes requiring air and heat flow
- Aramid substrates for higher mechanical loads and smaller roller diameters
- Antistatic grades
- Custom width and endless length
- Different joint and edge-reinforcement solutions
- Welding tools for on-site joining and repairs
the manufacturer also offers welding presses, hand irons and heating bars for manufacturing and repairing PTFE belts; its range includes 1500 and 2000 mm workshop presses, a smaller 250 × 500 mm press, and 500 and 1000 mm heating bars.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PTFE coated glass fabric?
A glass-fabric substrate coated with PTFE. PTFE provides a non-stick, chemical-resistant surface while the glass fabric provides mechanical support and dimensional stability.
What temperature range can it handle?
KOLOFOL generally specifies a range of -73 °C to +260 °C for PTFE coated glass fabrics. For self-adhesive grades, the adhesive system's temperature resistance must also be considered.
When should a Premium grade be selected?
When an especially smooth surface, high PTFE content, improved release, chemical resistance or higher electrical insulation performance is required.
What is the difference between silicone and acrylic adhesive?
Silicone adhesive is suited to higher-temperature applications; Acrylic adhesive products are typically intended for applications up to around 180 °C.
Can custom widths be supplied?
Yes. Rolls, sheets, narrow tapes, zone tapes and conveyor belts can all be supplied in custom dimensions.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Preferably a part number or existing sample, total thickness, width, length, quantity, adhesive requirement, operating temperature and a brief description of the application.
