PPS Guide Tape
PPS fibre holds up to about 200°C and resists chemicals and hydrolysis.
That makes it a good match for guide tape on high-speed, oil-heated flatwork ironers.

Common applications
Where PPS works best
01
High-speed flatwork ironers
Guide tape that carries linen through the ironer without stretching.
02
Oil-heated ironers
Handles the higher temperature and humidity of oil-heated machines.
