Filler

PTFE for industrial gaskets

Chemically inert filler ideal for aggressive and high-purity media.

PTFE is close to chemically inert, resisting almost every acid, alkali, and solvent found in industrial processing. As a gasket filler and sheet material, it delivers clean, non-contaminating sealing — the reason it dominates chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and high-purity flange applications.

Key properties

  • Nearly universal chemical resistance
  • Non-contaminating and clean
  • Low friction
  • Available as virgin or expanded grades

Typical gasket uses

  • PTFE sheet cut gaskets
  • Spiral wound PTFE filler
  • Envelope gasket jackets
  • Kammprofile PTFE facing

Frequently asked questions

What is the temperature limit of PTFE gaskets?
PTFE is typically used up to about 260°C depending on grade and design. For higher temperatures, graphite-filled or metallic gasket constructions are usually preferred.
Is PTFE the same material used in Teflon gaskets?
Yes. Teflon is a trade name for PTFE. Any gasket described as a Teflon gasket is manufactured from PTFE or expanded PTFE sheet, offering the same chemical resistance and non-contaminating properties.
