About CS Hyde
CS Hyde Precision Materials & Custom Converting
CS Hyde Company specializes in supplying high-performance precision fabricated parts and components for exact specifications, offering a wide variety of advanced materials including Teflon PTFE fluoroplastics, Kapton polyimide films, UHMW polyethylene, silicone rubbers, closed-cell foams, and specialized adhesive tapes for demanding aerospace, defense, packaging, and industrial applications.
The company's adhesive tape product line features 3M-backed PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) systems on Teflon, Kapton, fiberglass-reinforced substrates, and silicone for applications requiring thermal resistance, electrical insulation, or chemical compatibility. CS Hyde's silicone gasket tapes combine solid silicone, foam, or reinforced sponge substrates with silicone or acrylic adhesive backing.
CS Hyde materials meet strict aerospace and defense specifications including MIL-DTL standards, FDA compliance, and UL electrical ratings. Their portfolio spans thermal shielding (Kapton, Teflon), electrical insulation (polyimide, fiberglass), moisture barriers (closed-cell foam), and corrosion-resistant laminates for extreme environments.
The company's in-house converting facility in Lake Villa, Illinois, provides custom die cutting, laminating, slitting, and sheeting services, enabling rapid prototyping and production runs of specialty materials tailored to customer drawings and performance requirements. Every conversion is precision-controlled for dimensional accuracy and adhesive consistency.
ChatMRO users can specify CS Hyde materials by polymer type, thickness, adhesive chemistry, temperature rating, or application (electrical, thermal, fluid sealing), and instantly retrieve exact material options with technical datasheets and supply availability from verified distributors.

Frequently asked questions
What's the temperature range for CS Hyde Kapton polyimide film with acrylic adhesive?
CS Hyde Kapton films with standard acrylic adhesive operate reliably from -40°F to +250°F; higher-temperature formulations with silicone adhesive or special binders extend the upper limit to +300°F or higher. Always confirm adhesive compatibility at your application's peak temperature to avoid adhesive creep or delamination.
Can CS Hyde PTFE tapes be used in direct food-contact packaging applications?
CS Hyde offers FDA-compliant PTFE films and tapes for food contact when specifically specified as food-grade; standard PTFE products may not meet FDA packaging requirements. Verify food contact compliance on your quotation before using in food machinery, processing equipment, or packaging lines.
What adhesive options does CS Hyde offer for wet or high-moisture environments?
CS Hyde silicone adhesive (compared to acrylic) provides superior moisture and solvent resistance in humid or wet environments; closed-cell silicone sponge gasket tapes are ideal for washdown and chemical spray applications. Acrylic adhesives are cost-effective for dry industrial environments but can degrade or lose tack in prolonged moisture.
Does CS Hyde offer custom laminating services for multi-layer material assemblies?
Yes, CS Hyde's Lake Villa facility provides laminating, slitting, and sheeting services for custom multi-layer assemblies. They can combine PTFE, Kapton, fiberglass, and foam substrates with various adhesives, then precision die-cut to your drawing for prototype and production volumes.
What's the minimum order quantity for custom CS Hyde converting services?
CS Hyde accommodates both prototype quantities (small rolls or sheets) and production runs; minimum quantities vary by converting process and material. Contact a CS Hyde distributor or their sales team directly for your specific material, thickness, and custom cutting requirements to confirm feasibility and lead times.
