Professional Introduction to Expanded PTFE Gaskets
Product Overview
The Expanded PTFE Gasket is a porous sealing material made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) through a special expansion process. This product perfectly combines the chemical inertness of PTFE with a unique fibrous network structure, making it an ideal choice for sealing corrosive media in chemical, pharmaceutical, and other demanding applications.

Core Characteristics

1.  Material Properties:
       Pure PTFE, expanded and formed
       Microporosity: 60-80%
       Density: 0.6-1.2 g/cm³
2.  Performance Parameters:
       Temperature Range: -200°C to 260°C
       Pressure Rating: ≤ 20 MPa
       Compression Resilience: ≥ 40%
       Creep Relaxation: ≤ 15%

Selection Guide

1.  Standard Type: White, for general applications

2.  Reinforced Type: With fiberglass mesh, higher pressure resistance

3.  Conductive Type: Carbon-filled, anti-static

4.  Food Grade: Ultra-high purity, FDA certified

Installation Key Points

1.  Clean flange surfaces (Ra 3.2-6.3 µm)

2.  No preload compensation required

3.  Recommended initial tightening force: 5-10 MPa

4.  Can be cut into any shape

Precautions

1.  Avoid contact with molten alkali metals

2.  Not suitable for ultra-high vacuum systems

3.  Check thickness before reuse

4.  Use with caution above 260°C


This product is particularly suitable for applications involving highly corrosive media and stringent cleanliness requirements, with a typical service life of 3-5 years. Custom processing services are available for various thicknesses (0.5-10 mm) and shapes based on requirements.
