PTFE Gaskets and Washers
PTFE is known for its exceptional resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, making it an ideal choice for sealing applications in harsh environments. PTFE gaskets and washers are suitable for various sealing applications.
Available in a range of grades, Virgin, expanded and filled PTFE offer good recovery and stability under a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Expanded PTFE is particularly beneficial where connections have become damaged or worn, due to its increased compressibility over virgin PTFE.
At Fluorocarbon we cut, stamp, and machine gaskets, seals and washers to precise tolerances using our new duel head state of the art CNC machine, which can produce up to 1500mm diameter.
Many grades, with additional fillers can be supplied including; glass, carbon, graphite, 316l stainless steel and metal detectable.
Gaskets can be supplied full face or IBC to Din or ANSI specification.
Key Features:
- Exceptional resistance to chemicals, including acids, bases and solvents
- Very low coefficient of friction
- Can be supplied FDA approved
- Excellent resistance to corrosion
- Offers very low moisture absorption
- Provides excellent dielectric strength
- Non-contaminating and odourless
- Processing plants of food products
- Cryogenic to +260°C
Applications:
