    Product Information

    CHEMFAB® Release Solutions for Curing

    Global demand for cushioned flooring has never been higher thanks to its versatility and adaptability of use.

    From underlay and carpet backing to anti-fatigue and therapeutic matting, they can be seen across the world in homes, offices, workplaces and public buildings -- and even on the sports field as artificial turfing backing.

    Manufactured in high volume, the process of working with PVC and PU at extreme temperatures is very aggressive. Production time can be lost due to product sticking to the conveyor belt during curing.

    Used as processing aids, CHEMFAB PTFE coated belts are designed to withstand the harsh production environment. The non-stick surface, consistently delivers perfect release and helps minimise the risk of downtime.

    Process Information

    CHEMFAB® Release Solutions for Curing

    CHEMAB ptfe coated belts and sheets work as release solutions for curing PVC/PU for padded and cushion backed flooring manufacturing
    Zoom Diagram

     

    The manufacturing process of padded/cushion backed flooring is challenging. Producers need a durable conveyor belt that not only withstands the rigours but delivers defect-free flooring on release. Padded flooring involves curing PVC/PU liquid formulations at incredibly high oven temperatures before the cured product is stripped from the conveyor and rolled for post-processing.

    CHEMFAB PTFE coated belts are non-stick and chemically resistant composites aiding the transport of the formulation as it is metered and processed into the ovens for curing, in temperatures up to 260°C/500°F . Preparation for post-processing where the final product is stripped from the production belt can also be a challenge, with sticking not only ruining the product itself but also contaminating the conveyor. Non-stick and superior release CHEMFAB processing aids are able to deliver hundreds of thousands of metres of product before replacement.
