Expanded PTFE (ePTFE) Gasket material is a soft, conformable material, ideal for applications requiring tight bolt load torque. It is particularly effective in glass-lined pipe systems where excessive bolt load can lead to significant problems. This exceptional sealing material, with its dense marshmallow-like texture, offers superior chemical resistance and temperature range compared to other PTFE materials, ensuring a more effective seal than regular PTFE gasket material.
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is a highly versatile material with a wide range of applications due to its unique properties. Its exceptional durability and resistance to harsh environments have made it a preferred choice across numerous industries.
The unique structure of ePTFE sheets, characterized by millions of microscopic fibers, creates a material that is both strong and flexible. This material can withstand extreme temperatures and is highly resistant to most chemicals, making it an ideal choice for use in challenging environments.
One of the primary applications of ePTFE sheets is in the medical industry. The material is biocompatible and safe for human body contact, making it an excellent choice for medical implants, including vascular grafts, surgical meshes, and various other medical devices.
ePTFE sheets are widely used in the automotive industry due to their resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion. They are commonly employed in gaskets, seals, and other components that require high levels of durability and reliability.
The aerospace industry is another sector that significantly benefits from ePTFE sheets. The material's ability to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments makes it an ideal choice for use in aircraft components such as gaskets, seals, and insulation.
In the construction industry, ePTFE sheets are used as a roofing material due to their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. They also serve as a sealing material for windows, doors, and other openings.
The expanded PTFE sheet is made from 100 percent virgin PTFE and is exceptionally compressible. It is a food-safe product with great chemical resistance, making it a preferred sealing material in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Due to its low bolt load requirements, the material is widely used for expanded PTFE gaskets and is a good choice for fragile, worn, and damaged flanges. It can also sustain compressive stresses of up to 40,000 pounds per square inch without compromising its sealing capacity.
