Teflon Tapes

Available in premium or like standard grade, PTFE coated fibreglass fabrics,
with acrylic or silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive on
one side, available with and without liner, are superior products for diverse
industrial applications requiring release properties
and temperature, chemical or environmental resistance.

The tapes exhibit exceptionally high dielectric strength and resistance to wear,
tear, cut through, breaking and flow under heat and pressure. PTFE fluorocarbon
resin in one of the most chemically inert materials available and has a low
coefficient of friction. Few substances will stick to its surface. Dielectric
strength changes little over a wide range of frequencies and relative
humidities. PTFE is non-tracking in an electric discharge and will not support
combustion. These tapes are designed for continuous maximum
temperature...acrylic up to 3500F and silicone up to 5000F. These products can
be used in contact with food too :O) hehe.

Due to the highly technical nature of these products, I suggest you talk to a
pro about this.
