For all your PTFE gasket needs, come to us.
Key Features and Benefits of the PTFE Gasket
PTFE gaskets are chosen for several outstanding characteristics. Our gaskets work in tough places and last a long time. Some of the primary features and benefits of our gaskets are as follows:
- Non-Stick Surface: The surface of PTFE is extremely smooth. Hence, nothing sticks to it. This is what makes the gasket clean and keeps it working fine for a pretty long period.
- Heat Resistance: PTFE gaskets can withstand extremely hot temperatures. They cannot melt or tear in extremely hot machines.
- Chemical Resistance: PTFE Teflon gaskets are resistant to most chemicals. This makes them ideal for use in places where strong chemicals are applied, especially in factories.
- Durability: PTFE gaskets are tough and long-lasting. It does not easily break or tear, even if used in a strong job repeatedly.
- Flexibility: PTFE is flexible, although very strong, and bends to accommodate small spaces or fit around pipes.
Applications of PTFE Gasket
PTFE gaskets are used everywhere because they are robust and dependable. The gaskets are needed for the smooth running of machines. The common uses of PTFE gaskets include the following:
- Factories: A PTFE gasket is here used by the machine so that parts are prevented from destruction that occurs due to heat and chemicals. The machine is thus safer to use and operates properly.
- Plumbing: PTFE gaskets are applied inside and within pipes to prevent leakage. They are very helpful in plumbing due to their compatibility with water and different fluids.
- Food Industry: PTFE gaskets are non-toxic and harmless to food; thus, they can be safely used with food. They make the machines in the food industry move smoothly and are quite easy to clean. Hence, they are an excellent choice for food factories.
- Medical Equipment: In a hospital and laboratory, PTFE gaskets are used in equipment since it does not react with chemicals; hence ensuring the safety and clean technology of the equipment used for medical purposes.
Available Types of PTFE Gasket
There are different kinds of PTFE gaskets, according to what they are designed for. Goa Polymer provides a selection from which you can get the option fitting your need. Here are the kinds of PTFE gaskets you can get:
- Full-Face Gasket: It covers the full outer area of the flange and is primarily used in large-sized pipes. Full-face gaskets are very effective for sealing wide pipes and preventing leakage.
- Ring Gasket: This is a gasket having the appearance of a ring; it is placed in small diameter pipes. This helps it seal up gaps where leakage may occur and prevents them from happening.
- Envelope Gasket: They have another layer of protective cover, and thus are much more rugged. They are pretty useful where the usage calls for harsh chemicals, like the plants used in manufacturing.
- Custom Gaskets: Goa Polymer can make a gasket in any shape or size. This is useful when a special type of gasket is needed for an uncommon job.
