Gaskets for Chemical Processing

Chemically resistant PTFE, envelope, and spiral wound gaskets for corrosive chemical processing environments.

Industry sealing challenges

Chemical plants combine corrosive media, wide temperature swings, and strict cleanliness requirements on the same flange network. Kemicon supplies chemical plant gaskets built around PTFE, envelope, and spiral wound constructions selected for the specific acid, alkali, or solvent each line carries, rather than a one-size-fits-all material.

Highly corrosive media
Need for chemically inert sealing surfaces
Contamination-sensitive processes
Wide temperature and pressure ranges

Frequently asked questions

Which gasket is best for aggressive acids?

PTFE and expanded PTFE gaskets, or PTFE envelope gaskets, are typically preferred for aggressive chemical service. Share your media, concentration, pressure, and temperature for a precise recommendation.

Do chemical plant gaskets need to be non-contaminating?

In most chemical processes, yes. PTFE and envelope gaskets are specified specifically because they do not react with or contaminate the process medium, unlike some metallic or elastomer options in aggressive service.
