PTFE Thickness Explained
A higher number indicates a thicker material. For example, a 3T thickness signifies a material that is three thousandths of an inch thick, while 5T represents a material that is five thousandths of an inch thick.
Typically, a thicker material translates to a more durable and long-lasting product, provided it is properly maintained. However, this durability comes at the expense of reduced flexibility and increased weight.
Our Recommendations
Our 5T material is the most diverse product we offer, suitable for most applications, such as: food production, baking, or cooking.
For applications that require a protective surface, or a more durable material for high-wear situations, our 10T material is the more suitable option.
On the other hand, our 3T material provides a thinner, translucent option for more delicate works, such as icing and confectionary. This material can also serve as a more budget friendly alternative to our 5T material.
