Thermal sealing tape 500 series

PTFE

This exceptionally creep-resistant 100% ePTFE form-in-place gasket tape delivers worry-free high-temperature sealing performance in large steel flanges. Sealing large steel flanges in industrial or chemical processing operations can be complicated: factors like aggressive media, thermal cycling, uneven or corrosion-damaged sealing surfaces can compromise seal durability and longevity. While one-piece prefabricated gaskets can be an option, it can be a costly one: as well as price, there can be long lead-times and supply-chain issues to consider. High temperatures / thermal cycling Alternating system pressures Aggressive media Uneven flanges / sealing surfaces A spool of GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500 provides an immediate, cost-effective solution to sealing challenges that demand reliable performance and extended durability. This high-temperature gasket tape, with its industry-leading creep resistance, is designed to maximize the operational reliability of large-diameter steel flange applications, especially those with thermal cycling. GORE Gasket Tape Series 500 creates a high-performance seal that fits any shape, instantly and reliably, to create a tight and long-lasting seal, in diverse applications with harsh process conditions — especially those that require a high-temperature sealing tape. High-temp gasket tape is ideal for large steel flanges in any processes involving thermal cycling — that is, processes with inherently variable and/or extreme operating temperature ranges. Thermal cycling affects the coefficient of expansion of the steel flanges and bolt-loads, and as well as the cold-flow and creep properties of the surrounding gaskets.
