GORE™ TriGuard® Gaskets
GORE™ TriGuard® Gaskets are used to seal fragile pipe flanges with low bolt load. Unlike other gaskets, TriGuard® Gaskets seal tight and stay tight, even with varying flange conditions. Designed for low, stress-to-seal flanges, GORE™ TriGuard® Gaskets are unaffected by most aggressive chemicals and are ideal for contamination services and highly permeable fluids, including chlorine and monomer service.
