Tedlar sampling bags
Our Tedlar® Air Sampling Bags are made from the classic DuPont® film. The DuPont film is the industry standard and has a good stability for VOCs, sulfur compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and sulfur hexafluoride. Our Tedlar sampling bags are made of 2mil Tedlar® PVF film. This film is tough, durable, and considered chemically inert to a wide range of compounds.
Bags of Tedlar® film can be used for indoor air sampling, hazardous waste sites, leaking underground storage tanks, stack sampling, soil gas sampling, gas blending, calibration test standards, and most other gas sampling needs. All of our stock bags feature an eyelet and our patent-pending single 2-in-1 fittings that combine the valve and septum into one. Our bags are used worldwide by many professionals.

Typical properties Tedlar foil
Unique properties of Tedlar* PVF film include excellent resistance to weathering, outstanding mechanical properties, and inertness towards a wide variety of chemicals, solvents, and staining agents. We deliver Tedlar® in clear. Our Tedlar ® PVF film available in thicknesses of 2.0 mil.
General properties are summarized in Table 1. Physical and thermal properties are summarized in table 2.
Physical and thermal properties Tedlar
Tedlar® PVF film is strong, flexible, and fatigueresistant. Its resistance to failure by flexing is outstanding. Tedlar® performs well in temperatures ranging from approximately –72 to 107°C (–98 to 225°F), with intermittent short-term peaking up to 204°C (400°F). Some physical and thermal properties of representative Tedlar® PVF films are summarized below.
