Introduction PTFE – ( Polytetrafluoroethylene). It is otherwise called Teflon. PTFE was discovered on April 6, 1938, by an American scientist, Roy J. Plunkett. It was an accidental discovery that was later found to immensely impact our daily lives. This discovery is now being used in diverse sectors, from household kitchens to industrial sectors. These have become an essential part of our way of life. In this blog, we are [...]
Introduction A composed gasket with an envelope of PTFE that has an inlay is called a PTFE envelope gasket. The application of the PTFE envelope gasket varies according to the inlay material inserted into it. Still, the main applications are for enamel flanges, plastic pipes, rubber or steel flanges. For enamel flange connections, PTFE envelope gaskets with graphite insert or fiber insert work well. PTFE envelope gaskets have the advantage of the materials used in them. Properties of PTFE Envelope Gasket It [...]
A gasket is the materials that are used to prevent leakage in between other two objects. It also fills the gaps which are present between two surfaces. There are different gaskets available that you can choose according to your requirement. Interestingly, gaskets carry multiple industry applications. If you want to purchase a high-quality gasket, then you can also opt for a professional gasket manufacturer. These gaskets are highly essential for food processing industries because it compromises the food & [...]
For running industrial operations, there are many components that play an important role. PTFE Gaskets are one of those widely-used components across industries. PTFE or Polytetrafluoroethylene that is commonly known as TEFLON is used as a gasketing material by PTFE gasket manufacturers because of its physical and chemical properties. Modified PTFE gasket sheets are used as sealants for specific purposes too. Why is PTFE preferred for industrial applications? PTFE can be identified as a synthetic fluoropolymer that ensures low-friction and provides [...]
