TheTopFour! KLINGER®top-chem: Four top quality PTFE-based materials for every application. THE LEADER IN GASKET TECHNOLOGY FOR MORE THAN 125 YEARS KLINGER ®top-chem offer the advantages of PTFE gaskets without the disadvantages commonly associated with these types of materials. As a result you will save maintenance time and improve plant safety.

KLINGER top-chem: A complete sealing package for safe performance KLINGER ®top-chem offer the advantages of PTFE gaskets without the disadvantages commonly associated with PTFE materials. This allows you to use these materials in applications where traditionally they are unsuitable, saving you maintenance time and improving plant safety. As an example, a comparison of the load bearing performance of KLINGER ®top-chem-2000 with that of rival products is shown in the diagram below. With KLINGER ®topchem-2000, the high relaxation typical of standard PTFE gaskets is not observed. The results demonstrate...

KLINGER top-chem: A complete sealing package for safe performance KLINGER ®top-chem-2003 As regards media, the range of applications is comparable to that of KLINGER ®top-chem-2000. However, KLINGER ®top-chem-2003 has greater compressibility and is ideal for maintaining a tight seal even at low surface loads and temperatures. KLINGER ®top-chem-2003 has excellent chemical resistance in strongly acidic and alkaline applications and excellent mechanical properties at medium and low tempera-tures and loads. Special mention should be given to its high gas tightness at even low surface loads (TA-Luft...

The heavy-duty gaskets KLINGER top-chem ® Stability according to Klinger The load bearing capacity of a gasket can be assessed at ambient and high temperature using the hot compression test developed by Klinger. In contrast to the test method according to DIN 52913 and BS 7531, the gasket stress is kept constant throughout the entire test. The gasket is thus exposed to significantly severer conditions. The Complex Demands on a Gasket The successful operation of a gasket depends upon a multiplicity of factors. Many who use static gaskets believe that the values quoted for maximum admissible temperature...
