GORE™ TriGuard® Gaskets

Sealing with Certainty™

GASKET FOR FRAGILE PIPE FLANGES

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.

Key Features

• Low stress-to-seal
• Chemically inert and temperature resistant
• Conforms to flange deviations
• High dimensional stability and creep resistance
• Resistant to blowout

Key Benefits

• Seals highly permeable and aggressive fluids
• Protects weak and fragile flanges from cracking
• Seals damaged or misaligned flanges
• Reliable sealing performance
• Seldom needs retorquing
