Nott Co.

We have worked extensively with elastomeric materials since the 1960s. We offer comprehensive fabricating and converting services to virtually any flexible material. In addition to the materials below, we can provide other specialty elastomers and can create composite materials for any application you may have. We can also apply a film or fabric or an adhesive with a peel-away liner on any of our materials to assist in the manufacturing or assembly of your product. Please contact us with your most demanding application to allow us to help you create an effective solution. Silicone – Closed or open cell available. High performance elastomer with excellent resistance to heat and cold while retaining its flexibility. Outstanding resistance to compression set and most environmental conditions including weathering, ozone, and oxidation and has high dielectric strength. Poor in steam, ketones, or chlorinated hydrocarbons. This is an excellent material for high temperature gaskets, seals, weatherstripping and applications requiring flame resistance and compression set resistance.

We can fabricate plastic sheet and film into many different custom products through waterjet cutting, die-cutting, slitting, laminating, rewind slitting, sheeting and shearing. In addition to the materials below, we can provide other specialty plastics and can create composite materials for any application you may have. PTFE is also known as Teflon®, which has unsurpassed chemical resistance, high dielectric strength, and is non-flammable and inert to weather and sunlight. PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid. PTFE products are used as gasket and packing materials in chemical processing equipment, as electrical insulation for maximum reliability, and in bearings, seals, piston rings and other mechanical applications, especially those requiring anti-stick characteristics. PTFE and expanded PTFE are available in thicknesses from 0.001” to 0.25”. Nott Company inventories low, high and ultra-high densities of polyethylene. PE has excellent solvent resistance and UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight) meets FDA requirements for direct food-contact applications. UHMW-PE will not encourage growth of bacteria or fungus, is self-lubricating, and has extremely high abrasion-resistant properties. Some applications include friction washers, rollers, gears, guides, wear bars, chute liners and foot cutting boards. PE’s maximum continuous operating temperature is 180°F and the thicknesses that are available range from 0.003” to 6.0”.

Nott Company stocks a wide variety of tapes with substrates, including PTFE, polyimide, UHMW, PTFE-coated fiberglass, polyester and foil. Most of these substrates are available with silicone, acrylic and rubber-based adhesives, and are generally stocked in either “logs” (up to 250 yards) or “jumbo” rolls (up to 5000 yards) that can be converted to any width and length to suit your needs. converting equipment and our tape materials are located in a specific area to keep the adhesive in prime condition with the longest shelf life possible. Typical applications for our tapes include heat sealing, abrasion resistance, wear protection, thermal and electrical insulation, electrical and thermal conductivity, plating, fume, area-mask, and gold finger protection, hot-air leveling, coil winding and harness assembly. We can also custom-make foam tapes of any thickness and width you require.

We have many different types of sheet rubber and matting in stock with a variety of thickness and hardness characteristics, which allow rapid turnaround of your prototyping or design request. In addition to the materials below, we can provide other specialty elastomers and can create composite materials for any application you may have. We can also apply an adhesive with a peel-away liner on any of our materials to assist in the manufacturing or assembly of your product.CorkNeoprene – Blended material made from cork particles and neoprene rubber to improve sealing capabilities and physical characteristics such as fatigue and compression set.

Nott Company provides a number of different types of EMIRFI products to companies in industries as diverse as defense, aerospace, telecommunications and electronics. Shielding products are used as a medium to provide electrical conductivity across a gasket-flange interface. We have such products, including electrically conductive elastomers with carbon, graphite or silver-filled silicone. In addition, we offer oriented wire in silicone, metallized fabric-covered foam, aluminum mesh and other specialty products. EMIRFI products can be waterjet cut, die-cut, fabricated, molded or extruded, depending on the application. Please allow us to help you create an effective solution. EC102 – An electrically conductive carbon-filled silicone that performs three distinct functions: 1) it acts as a low amperage conductor, 2) it shields RF and EM interference and 3) it protects against electrostatic discharge. It is available in thicknesses ranging from 0.020" to 0.50" and can be supplied in an uncured state. Volume resistivity = 5 ohmcm.

We offer an extensive range of products with PTFE, silicone rubber and organic rubber coatings on a wide variety of fiberglass and other woven-fabric materials. We can apply acrylic and silicone-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive backings with peel-away liners to most materials. We stock three grades of PTFE-coated fiberglass in our inventory, ranging in thickness from 0.003” to 0.010”, with thicker materials available if needed. Nott Company’s PTFE-coated fabrics combine the easy release and heat resistance of polytetrafluoroethylene (also known as PTFE, or Teflon®) with the strength and dimensional stability of fiberglass, creating a product suited for a variety of demanding industrial applications. Dimensionally stable in a range of temperatures from -100° to +550°F (-73° to 288°C), PTFE-coated fabric is non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, and is FDA compliant (21 CFR 177.1550) for use in food processing, packaging and handling. The fabric is made from woven fiberglass cloth that has been coated with PTFE.
