Specs Properties Order Info

 

GYLON Styles #3540/3545 are pure PTFE gasketing products are designed to seal in applications that require low bolt loads. Applications include non-metallic(1) surfaces and metallic surfaces that are wavy, scratched, pitted, steam-cut or warped. Our proprietary

GYLON manufacturing process minimizes creep and cold flow normally associated with PTFE products. This translates into better sealability by maintaining bolt load on the gasket.
