Fluolion® Sheet Gaskets

Description
Custom-cut gaskets of plain (virgin) or filled PTFE to suit specific applications.

Typical applications

• Gaskets for food, pharmaceutical or potable water applications, made from suitably approved Fluolion^® PTFE grades. 
• Expanded PTFE gaskets for flanges that have rough or damaged faces. Also for use on glass, porcelain and plastic flanges where low bolt loads are essential.
• Gaskets of filled-Fluolion^® for duties where the mechanical properties of PTFE need to be improved at the expense of chemical resistance and other inherent benefits.

Service capability
Maximum temperature: +260°C.

Chemical compatibility
The chemical resistance of virgin Fluolion^® PTFE is almost universal. It is suitable for sealing duties with all chemical media - excluding molten alkali metals, fluorine gas and any materials that may generate these at the operating temperatures and pressures involved.

However, Fluolion^® PTFE materials that contain fillers to enhance their mechanical performance may have a lower resistance to certain chemical media than virgin PTFE. Therefore, prior to using these filled products, please check chemical sutability with our Technicals Services Team.

Materials

• Fluolion^® PTFE: pure (virgin) PTFE.
• Fluolion^® G15 & G25: containing 15% or 25% glass by weight.
• Fluolion^® GS: with 25% glass plus wear resistant additives.
• Fluolion^® G15M: with 15% glass and 5% molybdenum disulphide.
• Fluolion^® B60: with 60% bronze.
• Fluolion^® GR: with 25% carbon/graphite.
• Fluolion^® BR65: with 60% bronze and 5% graphite. 

How supplied
Precision cut gaskets to any shape, size or quantity. In sheets 1.5m x 1.5m. Standard thicknesses 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm.
