What is Expanded PTFE Gasket Tape?

Expanded PTFE gasket tape is made with only 100% pure PTFE resins and exhibits the same chemical resistance of virgin PTFE, it is a highly fibrillated expanded PTFE form-in-place sealant for gasketed joints and conforms to FDA requirements. Expanded PTFE gasket tape is supplied on spools, Expanded PTFE gasket tape comes in various thicknesses with a high quality adhesive backing to ease in installation, making it ideal for worn flanges of all sizes and is not dependent on flange dimensions. It exhibits flexibility, compressibility and stability under high temperature and high tensile strength.

And our expanded ptfe gasket tape is equal to Gore expanded ptfe sealing tape.

Typical Application

Expanded PTFE gasket tape is designed to replace full gaskets by slightly overlapping the tape around the sealing face of one flange and then bolting the flanges together. The soft and flexible nature of the epxanded ptfe material is designed to provide a seal on irregular or defective areas. Expanded PTFE gasket tape is especially suite d for sealing flange connections, pipe systems, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, etc. In addition, it is also ideal for seals in glass, enamel and plastic flanges, vessels and special shaped sealing surface.

Advantages of Expanded PTFE Gasket Tape

Expanded PTFE gasket tape can be quick and simple installation, no cutting or punching necessary. The used expanded PTFE gasket tape can be easily removed without leaving any deposits on the sealing areas. Excellent malleability makes the repair of minor damages and irregularities unnecessary. Extremely versatile because of exceptionally good chemical and thermal stability. There is less chance of choosing the wrong gasket material, because expanded PTFE gasket tape can be used for most applications within the plant, with longer gasket life (less downtime), no material waste, and low stock cost.

Service Limits

Expanded PTFE gasket tape works from -268ºC to 260ºC, working pressure 200 bar.

Differences between PTFE and expanded PTFE

You are probably wondering what the differences are between conventional PTFE and expanded PTFE.

Both materials share similar properties that are optimal for industrial applications. However, expanded PTFE has a superior versatility than PTFE and, consequently, it can be manufactured in different sizes, densities and thicknesses.

Partial Sizes

Expanded PTFE gasket tape is an ideal solution for flange connections, container rims, and any other metal to metal application requiring a compressible, chemically resistant seal. The tape comes with a one-side adhesive that aids in the installation by allowing exact placement of the gasket lining.
