1 — Introduction: A New Way to Look at Sealing Economics In the complex ecosystem of modern heavy industry and precision manufacturing, fluid sealing technology is often physically small but disproportionately critical to operational safety, [...]
Expanded PTFE (ePTFE) has revolutionized the sealing industry. By modifying traditional Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) through a biaxial stretching and lamination process, ePTFE retains PTFE's legendary chemical resistance while addressing its two biggest weaknesses: high creep (cold [...]
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance and ultra-high purity. PTFE sheet and rod exhibit self-lubricating behavior and a very low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for high-temperature seals, insulators, [...]
Gland Packing (also called sealing packing or braided packing) is usually braided from relatively soft, flexible yarns and is installed in the stuffing box as a strip-shaped sealing element to prevent media leakage. In early [...]
Expanded PTFE gasket tape is a sealing material offered as continuous, white, 100% ePTFE tape. It is known for its excellent flexibility, compression resilience, and ease of installation, making it a popular choice in various [...]
From PTFE Chemistry to ePTFE Performance Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is renowned for its excellent chemical stability, wide service temperature range, electrical insulation properties, low friction, and anti-stick characteristics. It has one of the lowest coefficients of [...]
In petrochemical, metallurgy, and nuclear plants, bolted flange connections rely on gaskets to prevent leaks in pressure vessels and piping. Under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, the sealing performance and reliability must be exceptional. Any leakage [...]
In the production processes of the petroleum, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, equipment such as pipelines, valves, and pressure vessels is interconnected through passages. To prevent leakage at every flange joint, a sealing gasket is typically [...]
Metal Jacketed gaskets (MJGs) and spiral wound gaskets (SWGs) are effective sealing gaskets for high-temperature, high-pressure, and chemical applications. While both are semi-metallic gaskets, they seal differently, install differently, and are used in different applications. [...]
Gland packing continues to be the sealing solution of choice in valves and pumps across various industrial sectors, due to its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. However, gland packing's performance relies heavily on precise [...]
