GORE™ Joint Sealant Technical Information
Gasketing for Large Diameter Flanges
| Tensile Strength: 2,000 psi (13,790 kPA) (ASTM F-152) |
Compressibility: 55-80% (ASTM F-36) |
| Sealability: 0.13 ml/hr (ASTM F-37-B, 30 psig/2 bar-air) |
Creep Relaxation: 40% (ASTM F-38) |
Low stress to seal
GORE™ Joint Sealant has a very low stress-to-seal requirement, making it an effective gasket on more delicate assemblies such as plastic, FRP or graphite. It also requires less stress to seal on rough flange surfaces.
ASTM F-37-B, 30 psig (2 bar) internal pressure (air), 500 RMS surface finish.
Outstanding Versatility
GORE™ joint sealant withstands temperatures from –450°F to +600°F (-268C° to +315°C), seals internal pressures from full vacuum to 3,000 psig (200 bar), and is unaffected by most common chemicals. It is ideal for cryogenic applications and is FDA/USDA suitable for use in food processing and pharmaceutical industries. You can use it just about anywhere. And, it lasts indefinitely, when used within its operating parameters.
