PROtect Tapes COMPOSITE are PTFE tapes either glass coated or plain suitable for mould release in demanding composite construction.

Tapes and adhesive (silicon or acrylic) can withstand the most challenging requirements and extreme operating conditions.

The thickness range is wide matching applications requiring excellent release, dimensional and superior thermal stability.

Release of composite part from the tooling on injection is also key benefit of a properly designed mould and release characteristics normally relate to the coefficient of friction of the moulding surfaces and release tapes play an important role.

In fact, the lowest coefficient of friction is not a material property, but a result of the contact system therefore influenced by the hardness, thickness, uniformity, and smoothness of the surfaces, even more critical for small or negative draft angles.

Typical installation: male or female mould release
