Fluoropolymer films such as PFA and PCTFE can be heat sealed to form bags and pouches. Fluoropolymers are often used for biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications where purity, stain resistance, and barrier properties are required. For optimum sealing performance, Curbell’s PTFE tapes can be used to line the jaws of heat sealing equipment. This allows for aesthetically pleasing seals.
Please consult with a petronthermoplast representative when selecting films and tapes for heat sealing applications.
