W.F. Lake Corp. manufactures it’s PTFE coated fiberglass cordage products from the highest quality glass fiber available. Our uniform PTFE coating impregnates and coats the fiberglass bundles improving abrasion resistance and handling while enhancing resistance to most acids and alkalis. In addition, W.F. Lake’s cordage will not support flame, will not burn, will not rot or support fungus growth. Available sintered (fully cured) or unsintered (dried and baked, but not fully cured), our state of the art equipment ensures consistent, superior performance from lot- to- lot. Finally, our winding equipment allows for a number of different serving packages to meet your processing needs.

W.F. Lake Corp. manufactures it’s PTFE coated Beta (BC) fiberglass sewing thread from continuous filament beta yarns, making it among the strongest and most chemically resistant textile sewing thread on the market today. Our uniform PTFE coating completely encapsulates the thread, enhancing resistance to build-up of contaminates and repelling attack by most acids and alkalis. Our smooth PTFE coating enhances the flexibility of this very fine fiberglass yarn, making it especially suitable for most industrial sewing machines and minimizing the tendency to kink, strip-back or break like many other very high temperature threads. This is our most popular, versatile and cost effective high temperature thread.

W.F. Lake Corp. manufactures it’s uncoated Beta (BC) fiberglass sewing thread from continuous filament beta yarns, making it among the strongest and most flexible fiberglass sewing thread on the market today. Our uniform, balanced twist of this very fine fiberglass yarn makes it especially suitable for most industrial sewing machines and minimizes the tendency to kink, strip-back or break like many other very high temperature threads. This thread is available lubricated with a high speed thread lubricant, or with an additional PTFE Coating, as our R753– series thread

Designed to operate in extremes of both temperature and chemical exposure, W.F. Lake’s belts are suitable for gas, electric, infrared (IR), radio frequency (RF), microwave and ultraviolet (UV) conveyorized drying operations. This incredible substrate is then cut, sewn, sealed and laced to make drying processing belts for a wide variety of industries.

W.F. Lake Corp. manufactures its PTFE coated Kevlar* belting to meet your most demanding industrial applications requiring very high tensile strengths with minimum weight. The unique strength of Kevlar* along with its excellent flex fatigue resistance and edge tear strength allows us to fabricate belts for your most demanding applications. Our non-stick, chemical resistant PTFE coating enhances the amazing properties of Kevlar* and opens up a wide variety of uses for this unique product.

W.F. Lake Corp.’s E779 & E761 Series lacing tapes are well suited for most applications requiring lacing tape (flat braid) or tie cord (round braid) to operate at extreme temperatures and in chemically aggressive environments. Our lacing tapes will not burn or support flame and will not rot or support fungus. In addition, our braided products are PTFE impregnated prior to braiding, thus increasing flexibility and knot strength versus other competitive products that are braided first, then PTFE coated. Our process yields a product that does not tend to shed loose glass filaments and remains flexible over time.
