Steel Reinforced Gasket

Plastomer Technologies Texolon® brand pipe flange gaskets are molded PTFE with a 304 stainless steel perforated reinforcement core. Developed for sealing difficult chemical applications, this product is ideal for use when corrosive liquids, high pressures or distinct pressure variations are present. The unique design of molded PTFE with metal stabilizes the seal face, greatly enhancing the cold flow resistance and the effect of creep within the flange. The corrosion and flame resistant nature of void-free virgin PTFE, coupled with the stainless steel, provide plants with improved operational safety, by reducing the need for repeated re-torquing to maintain a leak-free seal. The gasket experiences over 1/3 less stud load loss than virgin or glass filled PTFE gasket materials. Plastomer Technologies offers their Texolon® gasket in standard, full face as well as special sizes up to 48” OD, and can provide custom solutions to individual requirements.

Plastomer Technologies also manufactures PTFE envelope gaskets, sheet, shapes, fiber and tape.
