Our industrial composite solutions
The continuous evolution of industrial processes requires composites that provide businesses with long-term value. That’s why we are constantly adapting our products and services with our partners in the industrial sector to make sure we are helping to enhance their operational performance, sustainability, and cost efficiency. Our solutions are specially designed to help your equipment provide the results you need consistently and at scale.
Chemical containment
Our fluoropolymer films can be used as a single layer or as part of a multilayer composite in every kind of expansion joint. The mechanical strength, durable flexing properties, and high-temperature resistance create a crack-free, chemically resistant surface that keeps gases inside pipes and ducting systems throughout a range of industrial processes.
Our Products
The outstanding insulation and low friction properties mean Skived PTFE Films are the first choice for niche food, pharma and electronics release applications, as well as storage tank liners and pump and valve diaphragms. The wide product range includes different types of skived PTFE suitable for unique customer applications – like Virgin PTFE, modified PTFE and PTFE compounds. A bondable version with best-in-class etching on one or both sides is also available.
Based on a high-strength woven fiberglass substrate, this material has superb mechanical strength and flexibility. Engineered for use in wet and dry flue-gas conditions in flexible expansion joints, this versatile product can be used as a single-layer expansion joint or as part of a multilayer configuration.
Tear-resistant PTFE-coated woven fiberglass fabric is extremely flexible, crease-resistant, and easily fabricated. The antistatic version features all the excellent chemical and mechanical benefits of the range and is also black – eliminating electrical sparks and static charging. Both choices are durable and easy to use.
When you need the highest level of chemical protection, VERSIV™ CBRN composite barrier materials are excellent for applications ranging in scale from PPE to large, complex shelter systems. Used by military, medical, first responders and industrial operatives in the most challenging professional environments, these products utilize Saint-Gobain’s fluoropolymer barrier technologies and are highly customizable for your unique requirements.
VERSIV™ Cast PTFE Films have a special multi-layer construction comprised of various layers configured with different polymers and polymer blends – which can be customized to meet your unique needs. They are used in heat weldable and anti-static conductive applications as well as mold release and vacuum bagging.
With its high abrasion resistance, robustness, and mechanical stability, our skived UHMV-PE films are bonding agents that also provide self-lubricating properties, anti-stick and sound-deadening properties. This makes them ideal for a range of demanding applications across a range of industries, from electronics to automotive.
Chemical processing
Our protective liner solutions for chemical, LNG, and aircraft petrol storage tanks provide long-term durability and crack-free surfaces with extremely low permeation. They are mechanically stable, abrasion resistant, simple to use, and process into the shape you need. Our products work in high-temperature environments that involve toxic chemicals and other potentially dangerous substances.

Filter and diffusion membranes
When dealing with corrosive or aggressive fluids, or high-temperature gas, our Zitex microporous PTFE membranes are chemically inert, thermally stable, and hydrophobic. The material retains liquids or resists liquid penetration while allowing gas to pass through within operating limits. Moisture-resistant and easily sterilizable with high wet strength, the non-stick surface ensures excellent filter cake release.
Our Products
Flooring, door and windows Manufacturing
Our mechanically strong and stable PTFE coated fabrics are designed to create durable, customized belts for consistent production processes such as being used as a release sheet material for window maunfacturing. They offer excellent heat transfer at temperatures of up to 500°F (260°C). The easy release and non-stick surfaces also mean minimal cross contamination and consistently high-quality product finishes.
