Teflon cloth

kaznj · Nov 15, 2017

Anyone have any knowledge of cloth that contains teflon in it. My friend usually gets Simonis. He heard about Brunswick cloth with teflon. I believe championship cloth also makes a product with teflon.
He said it is supposed to reduce marks. How does it effect play? Faster? Slower?

Please stay on topic with answers.Thanks

I believe Simonis 860HR has Teflon.

I have found it to play slightly faster and much more slippery. Did not enjoy it really.

Besides that, I despise Dupont and everything they stand for.
Teflon (pfoa) is so nasty that just about every human alive has it in their bloodstream as we speak.

I went to the simonas website. They have a cloth called hr for high resistance. No mention of Teflon.

Hr is 70/30 blend as opposed to 80/20 that 860 use to be. I believe. No teflon

Cloth

That would be the simonis 760SR, if I recall right it has something to do with Olhausen..
Probably olhausen had to attempt to speed up the tables " play like a diamond " attempt.....
I can't believe they'll put 760 on furniture tables..

According to Sebyberts, Simonis HR 860 is 70% wool and 30% nylon. No mention of teflon.

According to this video, Valley Panther has teflon blended cloth. Apparently, it's to protect against beer and beverage stains, again no mention of protecting against cloth burns.

I played a couple times on a friends Brunswick table with the Teflon cloth on it.
Very nice 8 foot table but it was like playing on ice,way too fast.
I would advise to not get it,I hated it.

Thank you, I stand corrected.

I think if you get chartreuse colored felt you may want Teflon.
After you go blind the Teflon will kill you.
