Hose Linings
Since DeWAL films are resistant to a wide
range of chemicals, refrigerants, and solvents they are
an excellent choice for hose linings. Their close
tolerance dimensional quality allows for uniform wrap
and adhesion. Should abrasive fluids cause concern, UHMW
linings resist most erosive materials such as paints and
powders. Their FDA compliance, resistance to steam
sterilization, and near odor-free quality allow for use
in food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications. All
materials can be treated for bonding to most substrates
and UHMW readily bonds without adhesives to nonpolar
rubbers.

Hose Outer Coverings
The abrasion resistance and low friction
features of DeWAL films promote extremely low wear and
extended hose life. The optional static dissipation
feature allows for safe spark-free operation where
static discharge is a concern. Outstanding resistance to
chemical attack and solvent penetration also protects
hose quality and longevity. The superior dimensional
uniformity of DeWAL films allows for flawless wrapping
and bonding.

Rubber Profile Industry
Automotive and Architectural Weather Strip – Superior
frictional properties and resistance to stick-slip make
DeWAL PTFE and UHMW films an excellent choice for
reliable runner bonding applications. These low
coefficient of friction materials provide a coating for
high-wear areas. This high degree of wear resistance
combined with smooth operation and long flex-life in
dynamic use assure dependability and freedom from
premature warranty failures. Some films are also
specifically designed and recommended to withstand UV
light to increase service use. Since DeWAL offers a
range of surface treatment options, all films can be
made bondable to a variety of substrates. These products
can also be formed to a variety of wear surfaces to
eliminate failures commonly associated with chafing and
fretting.

Applications in the Belt Industry
Non-Stick Release Surfaces – Low-friction, bondable UHMW
is an excellent choice for top surface layers in belt
laminates. DeWAL UHMW forms a superior bond directly to
non-polar rubber substrates. The tight-tolerance gauge
of the material also eliminates concern for tolerance
stack-up in multi-layer laminates, and the flawlessly
smooth surface assures belt quality. Films are available
to provide the advantages of static-dissipation, FDA and
USDA compliance and color-coding.
‘Sandwich’ Belt Reinforcing – DeWAL UHMW can be bonded
between layers of rubber and other fabrics to strengthen
flexible belts and increase service life.
