PTFE (polytetrafluroethylene) is a white thermoplastic material with a waxy texture, made by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene. It is non-flammable, resists chemical action and radiation, has a high electrical resistance, and also has an extremely low resistance to friction (which is why it is perfect for pots and pans!).

Teflon is the Du Pont brand name for PTFE, so in reality, PTFE and Teflon are exactly the same thing.

At J.I.T. Industrial Products Ltd., we sell both! Of course, the tapes we sell are usually not to budding chefs looking to improvise and make their own non-stick pans! Many manufacturing processes use this type of tape in order to take advantage of the aforementioned high temperature resistance, low friction (non-stick) properties. Industrial applications like conveyor coating and rollers, heat sealing bars, production equipment all use PTFE tapes.

Below are some of the industries in which Teflon/PTFE Glass tapes can be used. If you work in one of these industries and want to know more information, or would like to order these products, take a look on our online store, or contact us by phone or email to have a chat.

Our masking tape range is one of our most popular and requested. There are several different types of masking tapes on offer from general purpose to extremely specialist high temperature tapes.

Masking tapes are used by many different industries throughout the UK and indeed the wider world. We have tapes that can be used for general purposes such as painting, but we also stock tapes which can resist extremely high temperature in order to cater to processes such as powder coating, wave soldering and HVOF( High Velocity Oxygen Fuel). Some of these high temperature polyester tapes can withstand temperatures of over 200°C!

In our wide range of masking tapes, there is a tape to suit every type of manufacturer, from the sign industry to the aerospace industry, so whatever your industry may be from painting and decorating to aerospace, we have tape to meet you application needs.

The experts here at J.I.T. Industrial Products are always happy to lend a hand when it comes to masking tape (or any tape for that matter!) If you are looking for a high quality masking tape then look no further. Contact us today by phone, email, social media, fax, snail mail, however! and we will be glad to respond promptly. 

• Sending sensitive documents or valuable goods?
• Do you want to ensure your goods are not tampered with?
• Don't get caught out by thieves!

                                Why not try out our tamper evident security tapes or labels.

Tamper evident security tapes and labels are quite self-explanatory; if your document or parcel has been tampered with, the recipient will know immediately. Once opened, the tape will reveal a message such as "void open"  in order to warn you of a previous attempt to expose or tamper with your goods.

These products are of use to any individual or company who wants assurance that sensitive items are not exposed. However, it may be of particular interest to those concerned with:

• Security (for example in airports and stadiums)
• Traceability
• Contamination

 Like all J.I.T. products, our security tapes and labels are of the highest quality. A strong polyester backing and solvent acrylic adhesive sets our security tape apart from the crowd and is the number one choice of many a sensible business.

Visit our tamper evident page to purchase your peace of mind today. 

There are thousands of different varieties of tapes on the market and here at J.I.T. Industrial Products, our aim is to help you select the right product for your application.

You would be surprised how many tapes are used in manufacturing especially in the electrical engineering industry - electrical insulation and thermosetting tapes, foam tapes and a wide variety of masking, wave solder and plating tapes to mention a few. Manufacturers of circuit boards use bandoliering tapes and surface mount tapes to attach their tiny components. Even if you are not interested in technology and manufacture, you must admit that those are fascinating facts.

Polyimide tape is extremely popular in this industry because of its mechanical properties, thermal stability and good chemical resistance. One of the most popular brands of high temperature polyimide tape is DuPont's Kapton® tape. As well as these leading brands, we offer a range of non-branded alternatives. We sell various types of this tape including single-sided, double sided, dots and die cut shapes and we are very happy to be able to offer a conversion assembly service in order to cut the tape to your specifications.

In addition to this, we also sell ESD polyimide electronic tapes which have been given ESD treatment on the surface of the backing film in order to provide excellent electrostatic dissipation. What's more, our electrical grade tapes all meet industry specifications, including those of military, UL and CSA grades.

High bond tape is an essential material used in many different companies in many different industries. A large majority of our customers from the metal fabrication industry to the sign industry benefit from using high bond tapes instead of traditional rivets and mechanical fastenings.  

Why is high bond tape so popular?

• It is a fast and effective means of bonding
• It is  controlled and consistent
• High bond tape has an instant initial grab
