4" PTFE Gasket
A PTFE gasket (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is commonly used in extraction systems due to its excellent chemical resistance, non-stick properties, and ability to withstand high temperatures. PTFE is known for its low friction, which makes it highly effective at sealing joints and flanges in environments where there are aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, or pressures.
Some key benefits of using PTFE gaskets for extraction systems include:
-
Chemical Resistance: PTFE is almost completely inert and resistant to a wide variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and other corrosive substances commonly found in extraction systems.
-
Temperature Tolerance: PTFE gaskets can handle both high and low temperatures, typically from -200°C to +260°C, making them suitable for a range of extraction processes.
-
Non-Stick Surface: The non-stick nature of PTFE minimizes the build-up of residues, making it ideal for systems that deal with volatile chemicals or compounds.
-
Durability and Longevity: PTFE gaskets are durable and can maintain their sealing properties over time, even under challenging conditions.
-
Flexibility and Conformability: PTFE gaskets are flexible and can form a tight seal, even on uneven or rough surfaces, ensuring efficient performance.
Applications in Extraction Systems
- Vacuum extraction systems: Sealing joints to prevent leaks in systems where vacuum pressures are used.
- Chemical extraction: Protecting against the leakage of harsh chemicals used in industrial or laboratory extraction processes.
- Solvent recovery systems: Ensuring that vapors or gases don’t escape during the solvent recovery process.
