EXPANDED PTFE ROUND JOINT SEALANT
Expanded PTFE (EPTFE) Joint sealant is a soft conformable product that is clean and compatible with 99% of chemicals (except molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine). EPTFE is much softer and more flexible than regular PTFE
Simply by peeling the paper off and applying the joint sealant to a flange a leak free gasket can be made. Overlapping the joint sealant at one point completes the seal. Commonly used in Food, Chemical, Power Generation, Refining, Oil & Gas production, Waste Water, Pulp and Paper etc.
Temperture Rating : -400 F to +500 F continuous (600 F excursions )
Pressure: Up to 3000 PSI PH Range: 0-14
Soft and conformable: Great for Glass lined pipe or low torque applications.
Reduces Gasket Inventories, Fast and Easy installation, No wasted scrap.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), (DuPont’s trademark of Teflon®) is a thermoplastic member of the fluoropolymer family of plastics. PTFE has a low coefficient of friction, excellent insulating properties, and is chemically inert to most substances. It also can withstand high heat applications and will not stick to the flange
Feature
Form-In-Place - conforms to any surface, including rough, pitted, scratched and damaged
surfaces.
Flexible – can be installed on round, oval, rectangular and complex surfaces.
Chemically Resistant – made without fillers or binders, our 100% PTFE Readi-Seal™
exhibits the same chemical inertness of pure virgin PTFE.
Adhesive-Backed – convenient adhesive strip and peel-off backing allow easy installation
on both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Readi-Seal™ Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant has an Unlimited Shelf Life, shows No Age
Deterioration, and Resists Creep & Cold Flow.
