PTFE fiber

expanded

GORE® RASTEX® Fibers Weaving Yarn has exceptional strength, maintaining its dimensional stability better than other synthetic and PTFE fibers. GORE RASTEX Fibers Weaving Yarn is made from a unique form of expanded PTFE. It has exceptional strength and maintains its dimensional stability better than other synthetic and PTFE fibers. 30 years of proven performance Low shrinkage at elevated temperatures High tenacity at room and elevated temperatures Low elongation at elevated temperatures Non-contaminating Made from 100% expanded PTFE Non-aging Generally chemically inert GORE RASTEX Fibers Weaving Yarn offers up to 20% material savings due to higher yield/kg compared to competitive yarn Higher tenacity provides more construction options that use less yarn Reduced breakage leads to fewer weaving interruptions Lower elongation means less damage from heavy dust load in filter bags Does not degrade in chemicals, high temperatures or moist environments Longer life for filter bags and cartridges
