What Are the Features and Applications of PTFE Envelope Gasket?

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 resists corrosion which is also called media resistance.
  • It ages and brittles very slowly as compared to other gaskets.
  • The surface pressure of this gasket is very low which enhances its pressure resistance.
  • Its adaptability is very good as it can be molded or customized according to your needs.
  • It can be handled very easily during dismantling, transportation, and assembly.
  • It resists product contamination.
  • It has properties like elastic recovery and adjustment.
  • It can be used for a long time.
  • It provides thermal and electrical insulation.
  • It has a high chemical resistance that prevents contamination of chemicals as well.

Applications of PTFE Envelope Gasket

  • As it has a low leakage rate it can be used for gases and liquids.
  • Industries having high temperature-pressure conditions can use this due to its good resistance capacity against them.
  • It has a good seal connection capacity with low surface compression.
  • It can be used for FDA applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries as it is recognized as a food-grade material as per the FDA regulations.
  • It is good to use in rubber, plastic, or enamel flanges.
  • The flange unevenness of PTFE gaskets is high.
  • It can be used in applications that need corrosion resistance.
  • Those applications needing cleanliness can also use this as it prevents contamination.
  • It should be used in flanges that are responsive to tension and flexibility.
