E-PTFE Gasketing Tape
E-PTFE Gasketing Tape
ePTFE Isotropic Gasket Tape (or called as I-Tape) is a multi-directionally expanded PTFE material in tape form, and can be formed in place quickly, installed easily and reduces expensive material scrap effectively. ePTFE I-Tape is produced with a full adhesive backed.Typical applications include glass lined steel reactors, large diameter equipment, mating flanges with a tongue-and-groove sealing area, and surfaces that may be highly deflected.
Material Properties
Made of 100% pure PTFE, expanded via a unique process into a consistent, highly fibrillated structure. Upon compression, the fibrils lock together to form a strong, uniform material, impervious to gases and liquids.
It seals under extreme temperatures, pressures and against corrosive media, where conventional materials would break down. Even during application, the material is incredibly resistant to creep, relaxation and cold flow - issues which are often associated with other gasket materials, especially virgin or filled PTFE.
Operating throughout the pH range, resistant to thermal cycling, non-contaminating and therefore can be used in virtually any industry, sealing the simplest to the most difficult of gasket applications.
