Expanded PTFE Gasket Material

1. Superior Chemical Resistance

• Withstands exposure to acids, alkalis, solvents, and hydrocarbons
• Does not degrade in highly aggressive chemical environments

2. Extreme Temperature Tolerance

• Maintains sealing integrity at cryogenic temperatures (-240°C)
• Handles high temperatures up to +260°C without losing performance

3. Highly Compressible and Conformable

• Adapts to rough, uneven, or damaged flange surfaces
• Provides a tight, leak-proof seal even at low bolt loads

4. Reduced Creep and Cold Flow

• Unlike standard PTFE, ePTFE has better stability under pressure
• Prevents gasket relaxation and reduces the need for retightening

5. FDA-Approved and Non-Toxic

• Safe for food, pharmaceutical, and medical applications
• Prevents bacterial buildup and contamination, making it ideal for hygienic environments

• Seals reactors, pipelines, heat exchangers, and storage tanks
• Prevents leakage of corrosive chemicals, acids, and aggressive solvents

• Used in valves, flanges, and pipeline joints handling hydrocarbons and gases
• Withstands high-pressure conditions in refining and processing

• FDA-approved for use in food production and beverage processing
• Seals mixing tanks, beverage pipelines, and dairy processing equipment

• Ensures sterile, contamination-free sealing in drug manufacturing
• Used in autoclaves, sterile fluid transport, and cleanroom environments

• Chemical-resistant gaskets for pumps, valves, and pipelines
• Prevents leaks in corrosive fluid handling systems

• Used in cleanroom environments where contamination control is critical
• Provides reliable sealing for semiconductor processing equipment

• Ideal for fuel and hydraulic systems in aircraft and high-performance vehicles
• Withstands vibration, pressure changes, and temperature fluctuations

• Seals pumps, compressors, and high-temperature piping systems
• Provides long-lasting performance in high-stress industrial settings

Limited Mechanical Strength

• Issue: Softer than some materials, making it susceptible to deformation under high loads
• Solution: Use reinforced PTFE gaskets for applications requiring extra rigidity

Susceptibility to Creep and Cold Flow

• Issue: Can deform over time under extreme pressure and temperature
• Solution: Proper torque control and regular inspections prevent long-term gasket relaxation

Higher Cost Compared to Standard Gaskets

• Issue: More expensive than rubber or fiber-based gaskets
• Solution: Long lifespan and reduced maintenance needs make it cost-effective over time
