• Modified PTFE r-PTFE

The main qualities we can manufacture with are:

Garlock

Gylon 3545: The GYLON® Style 3545 is a highly compressible microcellular PTFE with a rigid PTFE core for improved handlability. The GYLON® 3545 designed to compress and conform to irregular or damaged surfaces, making it suitable for flanges that generate lower compressive stresses, such and glass-lined flanges and equipment.

  • Tight seal
  • Highly compressible PTFE outer layers seal under low bolt load
  • Compressible layers conform to irregularities, especially on warped, pitted, or scratched flanges
  • Rigid PTFE core reduces cold flow and creep
  • Withstands a wide range of chemicals
  • Can be cut from larger sheets, reducing inventory costs and expensive downtime
  • Rigid PTFE core facilitates installation, especially on large diameter flanges and hard-to-reach areas
  • Will not support flame
  • Will not support bacterial growth

Gylon 3501-E:  The first choice for universal applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries. The combination of high pressure/temperature (P x T) and minimal cold flow far exceeds the performance of conventional PTFE.

  • Tight seal
  • Improved performance over conventional PTFE
  • Reduced product loss and emissions
  • Reduced creep relaxation
  • Unique manufacturing process minimizes cold flow problems typical of skived and expanded PTFE sheets
  • Excellent bolt torque retention
  • Withstands a wide range of chemicals for extended service life in a wide variety of applications
  • Offers some of the largest sheet sizes in the industry
  • Improved material utilization reduces waste
  • Branding and color coding reduces misapplication
  • Will not support flame
  • Will not support bacterial growth

Gylon EPIX 3501-E: GYLON EPIX® Style 3501-E is a high performance, silica filled PTFE sheet material designed for use with strong acids, solvents, hydrocarbons, and other aggressive media. GYLON EPIX® Style 3501-E withstands a wide range of chemicals for extended service in a wide variety of applications.

GYLON EPIX® will provide superior functional performance by combining the traditional attributes of GYLON® with an innovative surface design. It offers a broader range of applications than traditional PTFE gaskets that are used in worn and pitted flanges. In addition, GYLON EPIX® delivers the tight sealing and load retention properties of 1/16” (1.6mm)  and the conformability of 1/8” (3.2mm). The hexagonal profile provides improved compressibility and recovery. The profiled surface reduces the contact area during initial compression to concentrate the compressive force of the flange for improved sealability.

  • One thickness does the job of two
  • Seal performance and load retention equal of 1/16”  (1.6mm) 
  • Compressibility and forgiveness/conformability of 1/8” (3.2mm)
  • Patented hex profile creates superb sealing and ability to conform to imperfect flange surfaces
  • Same material as traditional GYLON®

Gylon 3510: The GYLON® Style 3510 is a high performance, barium sulfate filled PTFE gasketing material. GYLON® 3510 PTFE gasket is designed for use in strong caustics and toxic chemicals, such as chlorine, ammonia, and phosgene, where initiating and maintaining an extremely tight seal is critical. In addition, the GYLON® 3510 provides exceptional performance in monomer services.

  • Tighter seal
  • Improved performance over conventional PTFE
  • Reduced product loss and emissions
  • Reduced creep relaxation
  • Unique manufacturing process minimizes cold flow problems typical of skived and expanded PTFE sheets
  • Excellent bolt torque retention
  • Withstands a wide range of chemicals for extended service life in a wide variety of applications
  • Offers some of the largest sheet sizes in the industry
  • Improved material utilization reduces waste
  • Branding and color coding reduces misapplication
  • Will not support flame
  • Will not support bacterial growth

Belpa

  • Belpa Flon PL: Gasket made of pure 100% expanded multidirectional PTFE with high resistance to chemical attack and corrosion for chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry (Complies with FDA homologation)
  • Belpa Flon 9000-LC: Gasket material made of Modified PTFE with specials fillers in order to increase the creep deformation with an excellent chemical resistance, including acids and alcalis at high concentrations in pharmaceutical and food industry
  • Belpa Flon 9005-LC: Gasket material made of Modified PTFE with specials fillers in order to increase the creep deformation with an excellent chemical resistance, including acids and alcalis at high concentrations for industry
  • Belpa Flon 9006-LC: Gasket material made of Modified PTFE with specials fillers with an addition of special particles for low bolt load applications.

There are countless brands of this material type, though most of them keep the same color code:

  • Pink: PTFE modified with silica filler. Especially suitable for alkali and strong acids except hydrofluoric acid. Other applications also include solvents, fuels, water, steam and chlorine.
  • Blue: PTFE modified with glass microspheres. Designed for glass pipelines, ceramics or plastics, and irregular flange faces.
  • White: Teflon modified with barium sulfate. Perfect for alkali, solvents, fuels, water, steam and chlorine. Particularly suitable for hydrofluoric acid if not pure.
