Increase Production Quality & Throughput With Solutions That Fit Your Needs
High Temperature
Process at the speed you need. PTFE and Silicone Solutions for temperatures from 400°F to 700°F mean no compromises to your ideal settings.
Non-Stick
Your product, handled cleanly. You know how hot products can chew the lifespan right off your belts, tape, and smallwares? Ease of release means longer life, fewer changeovers, and faster throughput.
Customizable
A solution that doesn’t fit your needs is not a real solution. You should not be forced into compromise. From packaging, to food processing, to aerospace—your needs will be met, and your expectations exceeded.
Made in the USA
The safety and assurance you need, regulated by US manufacturing standards.
The World Doesn’t Stop for Changeovers, Why Should You?
Equipment maintenance takes precious time away from your bottom line. You deserve better, more robust materials that last long and minimize downtime.
Continue to Lead Your Industry With even Greater Control Over Your Equipment.
Improved Cycle Times
Your throughput is dependent on hitting the temperatures you need without worrying about release issues that can steal production from you.
Low Operating Cost
Cutting consumables even as you improve cycle times means that maxing your output does not mean maxing out your budget.
Designed to Fit Your Equipment
Whether we’re discussing window fenestration tape for your welder or smallwares for your oven, if we don’t have a profile that meets your specs, we will make one for you.
