Open Mesh and Porous

Woven fiberglass fabrics coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that create both open mesh and porous solutions that allow for specific airflows in dryer belts and bleeder cloths.

PTFE Open Mesh and Porous

Our woven fiberglass comes in either open mesh or porous styles. With open mesh, you get large windows (¼ inch x ¼ inch/6.35x6.35mm)) to allow specific airflow through your dryer belt. Porous products are tightly woven fabrics that are lightly coated with PTFE to allow airflows of 5 – 60 CFM.

Our PTFE Open Mesh and Porous are expertly designed to provide specialized performance for dryer belts and bleeder cloth used for composite molding. Made for use in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, our solutions provide long-term, high-quality performance. The open mesh styles are woven internally to optimize quality as well as allow for customization to a range of application needs up to a range of 170 inches (432cm) wide. The porous products can also be made with specific porosity ranges for composite molding. This helps ensure that you get exactly the performance you need, including a flat surface and reliable airflow at all times.

Antistatic and Tear Resistant

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.

Heavy Belting

The strength and rigidity of this VERSIV™belting fabric make it ideally suited for large belts or those operating in harsh, high-temperature or high-volume environments. Mechanically stable under pressure and thermally stable up to 500˚F (260˚C), it offers great release characteristics. Made up of high-quality PTFE coating on a woven glass fiber substrate, the fabric comes with a range of controlled texture options.
