Omusono gw’okuluka fiberglass – ogwa bulijjo, twill, oba satin – gukosa nnyo eby’obugagga by’olugoye olw’ebbugumu eringi mu PTFE. Satin weave ekuwa amaanyi agasinga okukutuka (2-3x plain) n’okukyukakyuka, ekirungi ennyo mu kubeebalama mu ngeri ey’amaanyi. Okuluka okwa bulijjo kuwa okunyweza okusinga obulungi mu bipimo n’okunyweza ebikuta, ebisaanira okukozesebwa mu ngeri etali ya kukyukakyuka. Twill egerageranya eby’obugagga byonna okukozesebwa abantu bonna.

PTFE fiberglass tape yeetaaga satifikeeti ssatu enkulu ez’obukuumi: UL (obukuumi bw’amasannyalaze n’ennimi z’omuliro), FDA (okugoberera okukwatagana n’emmere), ne ISO 9001:2015 (okuddukanya omutindo). Obutambi obukakasibwa buwa omulimu ogutakyukakyuka, obulamu obuwanvu obw’okuweereza, n’omuwendo gwonna ogw’obwannannyini obutono wadde nga ssente nnyingi mu maaso. Bulijjo kakasa satifikeeti butereevu n’ebitongole ebigaba satifikeeti.

PTFE conveyor belts (Teflon belts) zirongoosa layini z’okulongoosa emmere nga ziyita mu migaso ena emikulu: omulimu ogw’oku ntikko ogutakwata (gukendeeza ku kasasiro n’okunywerera), okugumira ebbugumu mu ngeri egazi (-100°C okutuuka ku 260°C kisobozesa okufumba okutuuka ku bbugumu), okwangu okuyonja n’okuziyiza obuwuka (obutabeera na buziba, okugoberera FDA), n’okukekkereza emirimu (okukozesa amaanyi amatono, obulamu bw’omusipi obuwanvu). Esaanira ebintu ebifumbibwa, emmere efumbiddwa mu bbugumu, chocolate, n’ebintu ebikwatagana.

PTFE high-temperature tape ekozesebwa mu mitendera esatu egy’okukozesa eby’obujjanjabi: okukuuma ebyuma ebizaala (autoclave trays, heat-seal packaging), okujjanjaba ku ngulu kw’ebikozesebwa (okusiiga okutono okusika, okuziyiza amasannyalaze), n’ebyuma ebiteekebwa mu mubiri (vascular grafts, sutures). Okukwatagana kw’ebiramu kukakasibwa okuyita mu ISO 10993, era FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 eteekawo obukuumi bw’ebintu ebisookerwako.

Okusiiga ekimu ku lugoye lwa PTFE olw’ebbugumu eringi kisalibwawo ensonga nnya: okukola okusiiga (obunene bw’obutundutundu 0.15-0.35 μm, obuzito, ebikalu), enkola y’okusiiga & okusiiga (okusiiga ekyuma ekisinga okwettanirwa olw’obumu), omutindo gwa substrate (enkola y’okuluka, nga tebannaba kulongoosa), n’embeera y’okufulumya (20-25°C, <60% RH). Enkola ya Dip + blade combined egerageranya okuyingira n’obugonvu bw’okungulu.

PTFE surface treatment for bonding adhesion ekozesa enkola bbiri enkulu: okusaanuuka okw’ebbugumu eringi (okugumira embeera y’obudde okusingako, amaanyi ga 9.5 MPa n’ekirungo ekigatta, naye kifulumya ggaasi ez’obutwa) ne sodium-naphthalene etching (5 MPa okunywerera amangu, eddirisa erifunda erya ssaawa 24-48, kasasiro ow’obulabe). Londa okusinziira ku kufuga obutonde bw’ensi n’okukola emirimu egy’ekiseera ekiwanvu vs. egy’ekiseera ekitono.

Okwoza n’okuddaabiriza obulungi kwongera ku bulamu bw’olugoye lwa PTFE olw’ebbugumu eringi. Okwoza ng’omaze okukozesa n’oluvannyuma lw’okunyogoza. Kozesa bbulawuzi ennyogovu, eby’okunaaba ebitaliimu oba omwenge ku mabala. Tokozesangako asidi/alkali ez’amaanyi, bleach, oba ebyuma ebisenya. Okusiiga amafuta ga silikoni buli kiseera kikendeeza ku kwambala. Goberera ebiragiro bino okutangira ebizigo okwonooneka.

PTFE high-temperature tape erina obuziyiza obubi eri ionizing radiation. Ku 1 kGy yokka gamma exposure, amaanyi g’okusika gakendeera okutuuka ku ~25% ku original. Kisaanira mu mbeera za ddoozi entono zokka (okuzaala emmere/obujjanjabi <10 kGy). Ku makolero ga nukiriya oba emmeeri z’omu bwengula, kozesa polyimide oba PEEK mu kifo ky’ekyo.

Okugezesa omutindo gwa PTFE emulsion kuzingiramu ebikulu mukaaga ebiraga: ebikalu (60±2% buli T/FSI 067-2021), pH (9.0-11.0), okusaasaana kw’obunene bw’obutundutundu (laser diffraction/DLS), viscosity (12-30 mPa·s ku 25°C), okutebenkera (centrifugal, thermal, freeze-thaw), n’endabika. Ekitabo kino kikwata ku nkola z’okugezesa eza mutindo ku buli paramita.

Ku butambi bwa PTFE obw’ebbugumu eringi wansi w’okunnyika okumala ebbanga eddene, PTFE substrate esigala nga tekola kemiko, naye oluwuzi olusiiga lwe lunafu. Amazzi ganafuya silikoni PSA; amazzi g’omunnyo gayanguyira okukulukuta. Ku ddagala erikambwe, ebisiiga bya fluorosilicone oba perfluoropolyether – oba PTFE tape etaliimu adhesive – byetaagibwa. Okufiirwa amaanyi g’ebikuta okutuuka ku bitundu 40% oluvannyuma lw’essaawa 48 mu mazzi.
