GYLON EPIX™ - A NEW GENERATION OF PTFE GASKET

March 8, 2020 - Kevin Wigner When flanges are misaligned or worn out, facilities need to carry multiple thicknesses of gasket sheet due to any number of variables. Each thickness of gasket differs when it comes to bolt torquing and installation. The common misconception is that the thicker the gasket, the better the seal. In fact, a thicker gasket may lead to reduced pressure resistance and reduced sealability characteristics. GYLON EPIX™ has a hexagonal surface profile that can provide the torque retention and blowout resistance of a thinner gasket while maintaining the conformability of a thicker gasket. Its hexagonal profile reduces...
