Silicone is a flexible polymer made from certain types of silicone. Used in the manufacture of insulating components and gaskets. Silicone rubber is the first choice because of its rubber properties. It can be molded [...]
In many plants, sealing materials are still made from single-material fluoroplastics (e.g., PTFE, FEP), asbestos rubber sheet, or silicone rubber—converted into gaskets, washers, and packings. However, asbestos rubber and silicone rubber gaskets/washers/packings suffer from random [...]
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) Membrane is produced from PTFE and engineered to deliver a unique micro-porous “fibril–node” network. The method below is an improvement over traditional ePTFE Membrane production. It balances two critical properties that typically [...]
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 [...]
Mechanical seals prevent leaks of the pumped fluid and the loss of expensive pumped products. They keep or seal the pump so that the fluid stays inside it. Since about the 1950s, mechanical seals have [...]
If you have been doing research, you may notice that one of them is rarely mentioned. So are they synonymous? Or are they different types of the same thing? What is not used for PTFE? [...]
When it comes to choosing the correct industrial seal types for your product, you should first answer a few key questions to avoid malfunctions. Depending on the application of a particular seal, the wrong choice [...]
O-rings and gaskets are often used to create a sealed mating surface between components. When multiple components are joined together, we can install an o-ring or gasket at the place where they meet, the individual [...]
It’s easy to find that gasket has been used in almost all industries, including food processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, water, and natural gas. You need to use it wherever a union or flange is required to [...]
