  DIFFERENT KINDS OF PTFE & PTFE-BASED GASKETS

  PTFE & PTFE-BASED GASKETS PTFE CONGFENG is a premier manufacturer of PTFE gaskets, which provide excellent chemical resistance and extremely low leak rates. Able to withstand much more aggressive chemical environments than standard non-asbestos gasket materials, PTFE gasket materials are highly resistant to chemicals, solvents, caustics and acids, except alkali metals and fluorine gas. In addition, PTFE also has a very low surface energy. PTFE -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. PTFE is principally used as a gasket material because of it`s capability to remain unaffected by the majority of chemicals used in industry. It is also classified, in most cases, as a food grade material, making it acceptable to both medical and food production industries. There are three basic types of PTFE gasket materials. Virgin PTFE , filled PTFE and expanded PTFE . Virgin PTFE is by far the least expensive of the three varieties, and is used in most general applications. Filled PTFE is a gasket material with a virgin PTFE base to which a substance is added during manufacture to improve the sealing characteristics of PTFE . This [filler" usually is glass or graphite particles although ceramics has sometimes been used. The resulting gasket material is strong, yet highly compressible with very good, though not universal, chemical resistance. Expanded PTFE is virgin PTFE to which a stress resistance has been added by means of molecular rearrangement during manufacture. This process ensures that the molecular chains from which the PTFE is constructed, do not arrang
