Gaskets are widely used for the safety, sealing and sanitation of storage tanks, reactors, pipelines, etc. Leading PTFE sheet manufacturers are using technology to produce high-quality custom PTFE enveloping gaskets. These washers are easily available in various sizes and customize them to suit many applications.
The material which forms the core of PTFE enveloped gaskets is wrapped around a PTFE sheet. The main advantage of the envelope gasket is that it provides the strength and characteristics of the core material and the performance of PTFE.
In order to improve performance, two or more insert materials can be used to make the gasket.
Due to the physical and chemical properties of PTFE materials, PTFE enveloped gaskets are required by gasket manufacturers. It is widely used in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. In food and pharmaceutical products, the purity of the product is ensured through the use of gaskets.
PTFE sheet manufacturers can provide custom engineered products using graphite, rubber elastomer, non-asbestos filler, corrugated metal, etc. The application of PTFE envelope gasket can be determined according to its following characteristics:
These gaskets show greater resistance to most chemicals.
Because polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has a strong carbon-fluorine bond, they have high performance.
Teflon gaskets also contribute to vibration-free and noise-free operation.
Teflon gaskets are an ideal sealing solution in low to high corrosive environments because they are corrosion resistant in nature.
In a high pressure environment, PTFE will not break under pressure.
Teflon gaskets have strong resistance to temperatures up to +250°C depending on the gasket material used.
The end use of PTFE gasket makes it so popular in various industries:
Pipeline
Gasket manufacturers provide a variety of sealant solutions for the pipeline industry. Teflon gasket is a very useful sealant for liquids and gases in pipelines. They help prevent the leakage of acids and chemicals through flange connections, valves, etc.
Food processing
Food processing companies need to be very careful about contamination to avoid any disaster. The PTFE material provides a perfect quality of the sealant, preventing contamination from disturbing the nature of edible substances contacting them.
The food processing industry uses PTFE gaskets because of their pollution-free and tasteless characteristics. In addition, PTFE is an approved food grade material.
Petrochemical products
PTFE material has high chemical resistance. Therefore, the petrochemical industry uses PTFE gaskets as a reliable sealant for environments with mild aggressive chemicals.
Laboratory
Teflon gaskets are used in high-end scientific laboratories, chemical processing and management of various product formulations.
Pharmaceutical
The pharmaceutical industry uses various ingredients to produce pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Active substances are managed in pharmaceutical production facilities. Teflon gaskets are very useful to avoid contamination of medicines and care products.
Other uses
Teflon gaskets are used for glass lining or steel, plastic or ceramic flanges. The PTFE sealant designed by the gasket manufacturer has the dual purpose of ensuring product quality and ensuring the safety of life and property at the application site.
Good quality and laboratory-tested PTFE products should get the largest PTFE enveloping gasket. Longseal is a respected gasket manufacturer in China and an Indian manufacturer of PTFE sheets, providing customized PTFE gaskets according to the required size and specifications.
