In volatile aerospace conditions, aircraft faying surfaces on leading edges and fairings are subjected to mechanical forces that may lead to abrasion and corrosion. Further, if fuel and access panels aren’t sealed and don’t have proper surface protection, they can be exposed to harsh contaminants like UV radiation or liquids like petroleum, engine oils and de-icing fluids. That’s why choosing the best interfay material is crucial to the aircraft’s successful production and operation.

A simple switch to high-performance, long-life GORE® GFO® Packing Fiber can help plant and mill pumps to operate more efficiently, and enable significant savings in power, water and maintenance costs.

For more than 50 years, the Sealant Technologies Group of W. L. Gore & Associates has focused on the factors that enable more reliable sealing of piping systems, vessels, pumps and valves. Our singular focus has resulted in the development of innovative and top-performing gaskets and packings. We’ve also established a comprehensive technical services program, specially designed to help customers determine the best solutions for their toughest sealing applications.

GORE Joint Sealant DE has a uniform density over the whole cross section in combination with a high profile. By choosing the correct size it is possible to achieve a tight seal in many applications including those where the flange faces are badly pitted.

This exceptionally creep resistant 100% ePTFE form-in-place gasket tape delivers worry-free sealing performance for large steel flanges.

Easily and reliably seal glass-lined steel to contain aggressive media, protect equipment, and reduce emissions.

Contain aggressive media, protect glass-lined steel equipment, and reduce emissions.

Exceptionally resistant to creep, cold flow and aggressive media, this 100% ePTFE gasket sheet reliably seals steel piping and equipment.

GORE® Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) seals a broad range of flange materials with this low stress-to-seal, exceptionally dimensionally stable and chemically resistant 100% ePTFE gasket.

The GORE® Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) is the single, easy solution to the challenges of achieving and maintaining reliable seals in a wide variety of industrial flange and process media combinations. Reducing the chance of premature seal failure can enhance operational productivity and cost effectiveness, while providing greater peace of mind about safety and environmental concerns.
