GORE^® Gasket Tape Series 1000

• Barrier core engineered to amplify the available load
  • Achieves a tight seal that impedes even highly permeating media
  • Creates a seal more than 10X tighter than other ePTFE gasket tapes

• Tape excels at resisting cold flow and creep
  • Delivers exceptional sealing reliability over time and process cycles relative to other ePTFE gasket tapes

Reliable and long-term seal

Opposed to envelope gaskets, GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000:

• Provides chemical protection across the full flange width (100% ePTFE)
• Enables longer maintenance cycles, as demanded by leading chemical producers

Optimal form for easy handling

Large envelope gaskets typically are fabricated offsite. This often results in long lead times, shipping, handling and inventory challenges, time-consuming and complex installation procedures.

The convenient spool format of GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 offers the following advantages:

• Gasket can be customized on-site
• No fabrication lead-time required
• Simplifies and speeds handling & transport
• Adhesive backing enables easy installation
• Faster, less complicated shimming tape technique for larger deviations
• Reduces inventory costs

Outstanding conformability to deviations

• Seals deviations even at low gasket stress
• Easily passes the bubble test, for trouble-free mechanical completion (MC) or start-up

Reliable and long-term seal

• Seals more than 10 times tighter than other ePTFE gasket tapes
• Allows full use of specification range of the glass-lined steel equipment
• Enables longer maintenance cycles, as demanded by leading chemical producers

Outstanding conformability to deviations

• Seals deviations even at low gasket stress
• Easily passes the bubble test, for trouble-free mechanical completion (MC) or start-up

Opposed to filled PTFE gaskets, GORE® Gasket Tape Series 1000:

• Allows full use of specification range of the glass-lined steel equipment
• Enables longer maintenance cycles, as demanded by leading chemical producers

Optimal form for easy handling

Large filled PTFE gaskets typically are fabricated offsite. This often results in long lead times, shipping, handling and inventory challenges, time-consuming and complex installation procedures.

Filled PTFE gaskets might be dovetailed for easier transport. This however often leads to increased emissions through the dovetail joints, as they are not overlapping.

The convenient spool format of GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 offers the following advantages:

• Gasket can be customized on-site
• No fabrication lead-time required
• Simplifies and speeds handling & transport
• Adhesive backing enables easy installation
• Reduces inventory costs

GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 is available in multiple width, thickness, and spool length combinations.

All combinations of width, thickness, and length are available. Manufactured to metric dimensions.
Shim tape only available in above widths, 3 mm (1/8") thickness and 5 m (16') length.

Choose tape width to be the same or wider than the width of the flange. Use 6 mm (1/4") tape thickness for deviations up to 1.7 mm (0.07"), respectively 9 mm (3/8") tape thickness for deviations up to 2.5 mm (0.10") without shimming. For greater deviations, consider shimming with GORE Series 1000 shim tape.

Based on EN 13555 creep relaxation test protocol (P_QR). 
This testing was conducted with a fixture stiffness of 500 kN/mm, with 2 stripes of 250 mm x 55 mm with a starting stress of 10 MPa.

Based on EN 13555 leakage test protocol. DN 200 PN 10 plattens, 10 bar nitrogen, 30 mm wide tape.

Based on EN 13555 leakage test protocol. DN 200 PN 10 plattens, with 0.5 mm deep groove with sloped edges cut into the plattens, 10 bar nitrogen, 30 mm wide tape.

2 x 250 mm x 55 mm strips, 500 kN/mm, 0.1 MPa/s load rate, 15 min hold time, no visible damage.

For the TA Luft⁽¹⁾ test, the seal is installed in a DN40/PN40 steel flange, usually with a gasket stress of 30 MPa. The flange is then exposed to a defined temperature for minimum 48 hours. After cool down, leakage rate is measured over a period of at least 24 hours. The test pressure is 1 bar helium.

The ultimate final leakage rate after a test duration of 24 hours must remain below 10–4 mbar*l/(s*m) for the seal to qualify according to TA Luft.

No test procedure currently exists for glass-lined steel. Therefore Gore has conducted modified tests for this certification. A DN 200 / PN 10 steel flange with a gasket stress of 25 MPa was utilized.

TA Luft certificate is available for thickness 6 mm.
