Garlock GYLON EPIX® : Next level gasketing GYLON® family history When PTFE* was developed in 1938, the importance of the material to industrial sealing was quickly recognized because of the tremendous chemical resistance characteristics. While use of PTFE as a gasket material increased in industrial applications, complaints about certain properties started to build: skive marks made initial sealing difficult, cold flow caused leakage and premature failure, and temperature/ pressure cycling was a problem. Resistance to cold flow These drawbacks were eliminated when Garlock introduced GYLON®...

Garlock GYLON EPIX® : Next level gasketing Gasketing Challenges We heard We made a survey and ask decision maker in the industry about their common gasketing challenges and found the following % = Proportion of respondents named the particular challenge 28% Improper Bolt load End-users struggle when it comes to ensuring gaskets are installed to proper bolt loads as gaskets require different loads. Lower Creep End-users struggle with gaskets that have creep issues and desire gaskets with lower-creep intervals resulting in less re-torqueing. End-users crave a gasket that allows for a tighter...
