It is also known by the common trade name TEFLON™, trademark owned by The Chemours Company FC. PTFE can be modified for use as a gasketing material with strong chemical resistance properties. It can also be machined or molded into almost any shape. Virgin PTFE Material Properties Chart Contact us and ask about machined and molded PTFE. PTFE GASKETING MATERIAL - INERTEX The INERTEX® family of gasket sheets are produced by a proprietary expansion process which generates a highly fibrillated microstructure with nearly equal tensile strength in every direction. This unique structure maximizes performance predictability and stability while minimizing creep and cold flow. VIEW INERTEX EPTFE GASKETING OFFERINGS PTFE GASKETING MATERIAL - GARLOCK GYLON Garlock GYLON® gasketing is a family of flat PTFE gasketing materials. GYLON® high-performance PTFE gasketing is manufactured using a proprietary process that imparts unique physical properties, which are not obtainable through conventional manufacturing methods: Designed for severe chemical service, color-coded for easy identification, superior sealability, which helps reduce process and media loss as well as fugitive emissions, reduced creep and cold flow characteristics, and patented thermal bonding process to fabricate virtually any size gasket. VIEW GARLOCK GYLON PRODUCT LINEUP PTFE GASKETING MATERIAL - THERMOSEAL Thermoseal’s line of PTFE gasketing materials include the tc, Top Chem, Soft Chem, and SEALX lines. VIEW THERMOSEAL PTFE OFFERINGS PTFE GASKETING MATERIAL - DURLON 9000 Durlon® 9000 and 9000N are designed for applications where resistance to highly aggressive chemicals is required. Available in unpigmented white as style 9000N. Both styles 9000 and 9000N, (including branding) conform to FDA requirements. VIEW DURLON 9000 SERIES PTFE O-RINGS PTFE is a superior O-Ring material not affected by most chemicals. It can be used at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). It has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. Lubrication is less critical and can sometimes be omitted.

It can be used at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). It has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. Lubrication is less critical and can sometimes be omitted. Elastomers such as silicone or Viton® can be coated in a PTFE sheath for added chemical resistance while maintaining maximum flexibility. These rings are often used in food & pharmaceutical, chemical, and petrochemical industries where strong chemical resistance and hygiene are required.

Range FEP Viton This choice gives the best possible sealing characteristics due to the very low compression set value of the specially formulated Viton® core. Unless there are extreme high or low temperature involved, Viton® core should be the first choice. -4° to 400°F (-20 to 204°C) PFA Viton The advantage of this combination is the extra abrasion resistance of the PFA jacket. -4° to 400°F (-20 to 204°C) FEP Silicone Whilst technically inferior to Viton® as a seal material, Silicone does have the ability to work at lower temperatures than Viton®. -76° to 400°F (-60 to 204°C) PFA Silicone Silicone combined with Pfa has a very flexible temperature range, especially at the higher end. -76° to 500°F (-60 to 260°C) FEP Hollow Silicone Used in applications where low loading requirements are necessary, i.e. glassware or similar delicate equipment. The seal compresses easier than a solid core ring. -76° to 400°F (-60 to 204°C) PFA Hollow Silicone Used in applications where low loading requirements are necessary, i.e. glassware or similar delicate equipment. The seal compresses easier than a solid core ring. This has a higher temperature range than the FEP counterpart.
