GORE ®
Advanced Sealing Solutions for Challenging Environments
When conditions are extreme—such as high pressures and temperatures, abrasion, damaged flange surfaces, or exposure to aggressive chemicals—Gore’s sealing solutions are the ideal choice. Gore products excel in durability, resistance, and adaptability, delivering reliable performance across diverse applications.
Gaskets Designed for Industry
GORE® gaskets are engineered for efficient installation and secure sealing on steel, plastic, and glass-lined steel flanges, even in the most demanding industrial environments. Made entirely from ePTFE, a chemically inert material, these gaskets are available in tape, cord, and sheet formats. They are highly resistant, with the exception of molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. Their wide temperature range (from -450°F to 600°F) makes them suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature processes.
GORE® Sealing Technologies for Extreme Environments
GORE® sealing solutions ensure optimal performance in demanding applications across industries such as chemical processing, pulp and paper, mining, semiconductors, power generation, marine, and utilities.
Key Technical Features
GORE® sealing materials share the following properties:
- Material: 100% ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene).
- Chemical Resistance: Compatible with chemical media across the entire pH range (0-14), except for molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine.
- Operational Range:
- Typical Use: From -60°C to 230°C; industrial full vacuum to 40 bar.
- Maximum Use: From -269°C to 315°C; full vacuum to 210 bar.
For conditions outside the typical range, specific engineering design and additional care during installation are recommended, including retightening after thermal cycles. For further details, contact Gore.
- Longevity: ePTFE does not age, enabling indefinite storage.
Gore’s technical documentation provides detailed installation instructions, size recommendations, and gasket calculation factors.
