Enhanced GORE GR Sheet Gasketing Is Stronger Than Ever...And Even More Reliable

Elkton, MD - The enhanced performance attributes of GORE GR sheet gasketing represent the latest technical breakthrough for PTFE gasketing in the area of dimensional stability - a key attribute of important value to users.

Featuring a unique, newly patented microstructure, GORE GR sheet gasketing's ability to withstand creep relaxation means better performance at elevated operating temperatures. Plus, its better sheet integrity helps prevent fractures that can occur due to improper gasket loading in exceptional circumstances such as extreme flange deviation and misaligned flanges.

With these enhanced performance properties, industrial users who have relied on GORE GR sheet gasketing for exceptional sealing since the early 1990s can be more confident than ever about its benefits: greater reliability, along with encountering even fewer operational "surprises" from flanges. This, in turn, provides key advantages for plant operators, including reducing sealing system costs, minimizing downtime, and optimizing personnel safety.

GORE GR sheet gasketing can be used in most types of sealing applications. Made from 100% expanded PTFE, the unique, proprietary material is impervious to virtually all chemicals, is suitable for use from -450°F to +600°F (-268C to +315C), and withstands pressures to 3,000 psig. The material also complies with FDA food requirements.
