PTFE Gaskets
PTFE gaskets are flat or enveloped static seals cut or moulded from chemically resistant fluoropolymer. They isolate process fluids at flanges and equipment joints where many elastomers are unsuitable, while filler, thickness, compressibility and joint design influence creep resistance and sealing behaviour.
