What ePTFE Gaskets Offer
ePTFE (Expanded PTFE) Gaskets provide extreme sealing capabilities for a wide range of applications. These gaskets are highly resistant to chemicals and high temperatures, and offer excellent performance in both high and low-pressure environments.
ePTFE gaskets are available in various forms, including gasket tape, sheet gaskets, and joint sealants. Their flexibility, long service life, and ease of installation make them a valuable solution for applications that require minimal maintenance and reliable sealing over time.
Features & Benefits
- Easy to Cut: ePTFE gaskets are flexible and can easily be cut to a required shape and size, making them ideal for custom applications.
- High-Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 650°F.
- Low Bolt-Load Sealing: Provides effective sealing with low bolt load, reducing stress on fragile flanges and piping.
- Long Service Life: ePTFE gaskets offer exceptional durability, ensuring reliable sealing over long periods, even in demanding environments.
- GORE® Joint Sealant
- GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500
- GORE® Gasket Tape Series 1000
- GORE® GR Sheet Gasketing
- GORE® Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800)
With their easy cut-to-size design, high thermal stability, and ability to seal under low bolt loads, these gaskets provide long-lasting, reliable performance, reducing the risk of leaks and system downtime.
Potential Applications & Industries
ePTFE Gaskets are ideal for sealing applications with extreme conditions like high temperatures and chemical exposure. Common uses include HVAC, oil systems, steam systems, and chemical applications.
ePTFE Gaskets are essential in industries like industrial, aerospace, military, fluid power, chemical processing, and water treatment plants, where high reliability in extreme environments is crucial.
Design Specifics & How The Product Works
Manufactured from expanded PTFE material, these gaskets are engineered to be chemically resistant, thermally stable, and flexible enough to form a reliable seal in various applications. The material’s ability to resist creep and cold flow ensures that the gasket maintains its integrity over time, even in environments where the bolt load is low or subject to vibration.
What Makes ePTFE Gaskets So Effective? The unique properties of ePTFE make these gaskets an excellent choice for sealing delicate or fragile components like pipe flanges. The gasket material provides a tight, secure seal without the risk of damage to the sealing surface, making it ideal for systems requiring both durability and flexibility.
