GYLON®: High performance PTFE gasketing Family of PTFE Gasketing GYLON® family history When PTFE1 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...

GYLON®: High performance PTFE gasketing Conventional PTFE Gasketing vs GYLON® A comparison of the production process shows the clear answer GYLON® Gasketing Production Process Conventional PTFE Gasketing Production Process Only the GYLON® Process guarantees consistent mixing and even dispersion. Only the GYLON® process secures gasket tightness. The patented multi-layer construction is the basis for permanent resilience. GYLON® gaskets offer homogeneous properties under every condition. Safety is synonymous with GYLON®. GYLON® eliminates coldflow problems present in the past. Leaders in...

GYLON®: High performance PTFE gasketing A comparison between GYLON® flat gaskets and un-filled PTFE after exposure to a load of 14 MPa for one hour at a temperature of 260 °C. GYLON® certificates In order to meet the requirements of your special applications, we have subjected our materials to special tests. Detailed records on the tests listed below are available upon request. Benefits at a glance » Excellent chemical resistance » Minimal cold flow » Can be used in high pressure/temperature combinations » High resilience » Temperature range from -268 °C to +260 °C » Excellent dimensional...

GYLON®: High performance PTFE gasketing GYLON® Standard Style 3501-E and Style 3500 The first choice for universal applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries. The combination of high pressure/temperature (P x T) and minimal cold flow far exceeds the performance of conventional PTFE. GYLON® Blue Style 3504 Highly compressible and flexible through the well controlled and uniform process of aluminosilicate microspheric filler distribution. Excellent for low-stress components requiring low bolt torque loads, i.e. enameled and plastic flanges, glass tubes, GRP (Glass Reinforced...

GYLON®: High performance PTFE gasketing GYLON® Soft Style 3545 Manufactured from soft compressible micro-cellular PTFE outer layers with a hard PTFE pressure resistant central layer, homogeneously sintered together. Ideal for uneven surfaces and with a maximum chemical resistance of 100% PTFE. An excellent alternative to expanded PTFE on applications requiring consistent and reliable performance. GYLON® HP Style 3560 Style 3560, with its perforated stainless steel re-inforcing insert, offers higher safety levels against blowouts induced by aggressive media and high pressure/temperature...

GYLON®: High performance PTFE gasketing Installation Recommendation Please note the information given below is to ensure a long service life and sealing integrity of your gasket. FIRST CHECK » s the selected material suitable for the application? I Do temperature, pressure and medium agree with the process data? » oes the gasket have the correct dimensions regarding D thickness, inside and outside diameter for the components? » Can the bolts deliver the necessary seating stress to the gasket? » Has the bolt torque been correctly calculated? G ARLOCK will calculate the correct torque levels...
