LAMINATES WITH FLUOROPOLYMER CLOTH

A laminate includes a first layer of a first fluoropolymer. The laminate can further include a second layer of at least one ply of a fluoropolymer fabric overlying the first layer. The laminate can further include a third layer of a second fluoropolymer overlying the second layer opposite to the first layer. The laminate can have a strain of not more than 50% at a stress of 15MPa as measured by DIN EN ISO 527 with a sample width of about 1 inch, at a clamp distance of about 50 mm, and a speed of about 50 mm/min. Embodiments of such laminates can find applications, for example, as diaphragm membranes, solenoid valves, conveyor belts, or bearings.
