What is PTFE gasket?

Gasket & O-Ring Products Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. PTFE can be modified for use as a gasketing material with strong chemical resistance properties. It can also be machined or molded into almost any shape.

What are door gaskets for?

Door gaskets are used to seal gaps at door perimeters (the jambs and the header). By sealing the gaps along the door frame you can significanly cut down on the infiltration of sound, light, drafts, moisture, fire and smoke.

How much pressure can a rubber gasket hold?

What material is used for exhaust gasket?

Exhaust manifold gaskets may be made of embossed steel, sometimes in multiple layers. These gaskets may also be made of high-temperature fibre material, graphite, and ceramic composites, among others.

What is a Durlon gasket?

Durlon® 5300 is a commercial grade compressed non-asbestos sheet gasket material for moderate service conditions. It is suitable for a continuous operating temperature of 450°F (232°C); or a maximum pressure of 1000 psi (69 bar) at ambient temperature.

What are PTFE gaskets used for?

Famous for its extremely good slip characteristics, Virgin PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction and is chemically inert. Industrial Gaskets PTFE Skived Sheet is suited to more aggressive applications in the chemical or cryogenic industry or the food manufacturing where hygiene is a necessary requirement.

What are the different types of gaskets?
