Contact SupplierTeflon-based gasket materials are able to withstand significantly more aggressive chemical environments (including highly oxidizing environments) than standard non-asbestos gasket materials. However their temperature, pressure and mechanical performance is inferior to standard non-asbestos gasket materials. Metal inserted and expanded PTFE are able to operate at higher pressures. | |||||||||||||||
Mercer carries Garlock, Thermoseal and Gore-Tex brands of Teflon-based gasket materials. These materials are available in thicknesses 1/32" through 1/4".
