PTFE gaskets are sealing components manufactured from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, either by cutting from skived or molded sheet, or by compression molding into the desired shape. They are widely used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food and other industries where broad chemical compatibility and temperature resistance are required.
PTFE gaskets are available in virgin (unfilled) grade for maximum chemical resistance and electrical insulation, and in filled grades (glass fiber, carbon, graphite, bronze, etc.) to improve creep resistance, compressive strength and thermal conductivity for more demanding service conditions. Custom sizes and non-standard shapes can be produced according to drawings or samples.
We supply PTFE gaskets for overseas distributors, industrial buyers, gasket fabricators, maintenance companies and OEM customers, with different grades, dimensions, thicknesses and packaging available according to specification.
PTFE gaskets combine outstanding chemical resistance, wide temperature capability, low friction and excellent sealing performance for demanding industrial applications.
PTFE gaskets are resistant to virtually all industrial chemicals, making them ideal for aggressive media including strong acids, bases and solvents.
PTFE gaskets maintain their sealing properties from approximately -180°C to +260°C, covering cryogenic through high-temperature services.
Filled PTFE grades (glass, carbon, graphite) exhibit improved creep resistance, maintaining bolt load and seal integrity over time.
PTFE's non-stick surface prevents gasket adhesion to flange faces, facilitating easy removal and replacement.
PTFE gaskets provide excellent electrical insulation, suitable for applications involving electrical isolation.
Suitable for industrial distributors, OEM customers, maintenance companies and bulk purchasing programs.
Technical properties depend on the PTFE grade (virgin or filled), manufacturing method and gasket dimensions. The values below are typical for standard virgin PTFE gaskets and should be confirmed for the selected grade before ordering.

Stock PTFE sheet or custom-cut gaskets for specialized sealing applications.
The correct PTFE gasket grade, dimensions and thickness should be selected based on chemical exposure, temperature, pressure, flange type and required compliance.
Choose virgin PTFE for broadest chemical resistance and electrical properties. Choose filled PTFE for improved creep resistance, compressive strength and dimensional stability under load.
Specify inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness based on flange or equipment dimensions. Thicker gaskets compensate for uneven surfaces.
Chemical exposure, temperature range, pressure and mechanical load determine the appropriate grade and thickness.
Specify if FDA compliance, RoHS documentation, or other material certifications are required for your application.
Consistent material composition, dimensional accuracy and surface finish are important for reliable PTFE gasket performance.
Virgin PTFE resin or filled compounds are prepared according to the required grade and specification.
PTFE gaskets are produced by compression molding into the required shape or by cutting from PTFE sheet or tube to the specified dimensions.
Finished gaskets are checked for dimensional accuracy, thickness, density, tensile strength and surface quality.
Gaskets are packaged individually or in sets with protective interleaving, ready for export.
