GORE™ Series 600 Gasket Tape

GASKET TAPE FOR GLASS-LINED STEEL EQUIPMENT FLANGES

Protection against chemical attack

GORE™ Series 600 Gasket Tape is the solution on a roll for glass-lined equipment flanges.

Unlike most PTFE envelope gaskets, GORE™ Series 600 Gasket Tape does not degrade due to chemical attack and consequently ensures a tight and long-lasting seal and because it is a tape, it is quicker to install.

When compressed the gasket tape conforms well to the imperfections common in glass-lined flange surfaces while maintaining its width due to its multi-directional strength. Irregularities over 1mm are simply compensated by overlaying addition layers of gasketing material.
