Silica fiber Rastex

prepreg fabric

GORE® RASTEX® Fibers Sewing Thread, engineered specifically for the demands of filtration applications, withstands exposure to chemicals, high temperatures, abrasives, and moist environments. Key Features 30 years of proven performance Engineered for excellent sewability Made from 100% ePTFE Low shrinkage at elevated temperatures High tenacity at room and elevated temperatures Non-aging Generally chemically inert Key Benefits GORE® RASTEX® Fibers S010T1 offers up to 20% material savings due to higher yield/kg compared to competitive thread Can replace many high performance, high temperature threads to simplify inventory and logistics Reduces change-out time and labor Minimizes machine adjustments Reduces potential for production errors Does not degrade in chemicals, high temperatures or moist environments Filter bags, cartridges, and other sewn filter media are exposed to extreme temperatures chemicals, abrasives, and, occasionally, moist environments, for extended periods. These conditions degrade the filter media and thread, and the thread often gives out first. In some cases the thread is not appropriate for the application, or it simply wears out from chemical, temperature, or abrasive attack before the filter media.
