Protective Tape & Film for Archival Packaging and Storage RELIC WRAP protective PTFE tape & film is the safe way to package, archive, store and transport fine art, books and artifacts. Made in the USA, RELIC WRAP is available in three forms to allow for complete flexibility in your packaging needs. PTFE is an optimal material to provide the protective layer nearest to valuable art. It is inert, soft, flexible, temperature resistant to 550F (288C), acid-free and will not stick to the objects it is protecting. PTFE is also a thermal insulator. RELIC WRAP is completely unaffected by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, incandescent or fluorescent light exposure. It will not rot or support fungus for mildew.RELIC WRAP Packaging Film Ideal for filling voids around artifacts that are non-uniform in size, RELIC WRAP is also used as a protective layer that can be wrapped around any form of art, providing a nonstick, colorfast, conforming inner layer before additional packaging layers are applied. RELIC WRAP Film is available in rolls up to 10 wide, 0.003 thick, and 1, 000 feet in length. Technetics recommends that our PTFE tapes are stored and maintained in a controlled environment and the shelf life shall not exceed five (5) years. A controlled environment shall be clean and temperature at or below 72F (22C) with relative humidity not to exceed 50%. In addition, all material must be stored in its original condition and shipping containers. Should this become a concern, please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Custom PTFE solutions to meet critical needs With a focus on customer responsiveness and short lead times, our AMILON family of custom PTFE products can incorporate a wide range of fillers including glass, graphite, molybdenum disulfide or bronze, and are easily identified by their distinct colors, including the FDA-approved, white AMILON 3. Our applications engineers are available to help you identify the materials that best meets your specific application needs. AMILON PTFE products are useful when high-performance characteristics for thermal conductivity, coefficient of friction, compressive strength, wear rate, creep or cold flow are required. They can withstand temperature extremes from -400F (-240C) to 500F (260C) and offer excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance. We offer a wide range of standard formulations, but sometimes an off the shelf polymer just wont do. In those cases, our applications engineers will work with you to develop a custom compound to meet your critical application needs. Custom compounds can be developed for specific performance characteristics in the areas of thermal conductivity, coefficient of friction, compressive strength, wear rate, creep and cold flow.
