GORE® GR Sheet Gasketing
Increased residual gasket stress and greater blow-out resistance
GORE® GR sheet gasketing has been developed for a secure flange connection offering an enduring seal for all pipeline and apparatus flange connections made of steel. It consists of pure, high-quality expanded PTFE (ePTFE) that guarantees an almost unlimited chemical resistance of the seal.

GORE® GR sheet gasketing is distinguished by its minimum loss of gasket stress (high PQR value in accordance with EN 13555). This is particularly beneficial when gasketing material is subjected to the stress of temperature cycling, high temperatures and extemal forces, which can lead to leakage and/or blow-out.
The high strength of the material results in increased pressure and blow-out resistance. The higher rigidity of the material simplifies installation of the gasket. GORE® GR sheet gasketing offers a long-lasting seal on an extremely wide range of steel flange geometries.
