Key properties

Nexano's expanded PTFE gaskets are made from 100% pure, virgin material. They seal surfaces that are not perfectly flat and stay dimensionally stable for years.

  • Temperature−240 °C to +270 °C, short-term up to +315 °C
  • MediapH 0 to 14, except molten or dissolved alkali metals and elemental fluorine at high temperature and pressure
  • Pressurevacuum up to 200 bar (film) or 300 bar (sheets), depending on installation and operating conditions
  • Approvalsphysiologically harmless, FDA 21 CFR §177.1550
  • Ageingweather- and UV-resistant, does not age, low creep

PTFE flat gasket tape

The one-side self-adhesive tape is laid as a ring on the flange. It compensates for unevenness and stays in place during assembly. Available from stock in 11 standard sizes from 3 × 1.5 mm to 50 × 3 mm.

PTFE flat gasket film

The expanded PTFE film (density 0.75 g/cm³ ± 0.1) is self-adhesive on one side and seals steel flanges, expansion joints, hand and manholes, pump housings and air-conditioning systems. Supplied on 10 m rolls.

PTFE gasket sheets

Multidirectionally expanded PTFE with a density of 0.85 g/cm³ ± 0.1 and high tensile strength. We cut or punch gaskets from the sheets, including complex contours and full-face gaskets. Typical uses are flanges of all kinds, apparatus construction and heat exchangers.

PTFE round cords

Two types are available. The extruded, unsintered sealing cord is silicone-free, contains a food-approved lubricant and seals statically in general use. The braided valve cord of 100% pure PTFE is spirally braided and wound, which keeps creep low and lets valve spindles move smoothly even under heavy compression.

  • Diametersextruded approx. 0.75 to 15 mm, braided approx. 2 to 22 mm
  • Usestatic, heating and chemical plants, food contact to FDA

PTFE thread seal tape

The tape seals threaded connections in gas, water and process lines. Versions are available to DIN EN 751-3 and with DVGW, BAM (oxygen) and FDA approval. Standard is 12 mm wide, 12 m long and 0.10 mm thick; special widths from about 6 to 51 mm and other lengths and thicknesses are available on request.
