Unifluor Sheets & Gaskets ǀ PTFE with fillers

Biaxial-oriented ptfe ws 7550 | ws 7551 | ws 7553

Description
UNIFLUOR® gasket sheets are manufactured in a special production process which causes a very strong, biaxial orientation of the PTFE molecules. This results in a significant reduction of the negative creep and setting behaviour which is typical for classic PTFE. The sheets are also homogeneously filled with specific sub¬stances in addition to the optimisation of sealing technological properties and depending on the application area. Primarily, three types of fillers are used in gasket sheets as standard. They can be distinguished from the outside by the different colouring.

Standard fillers are:

Glass microspheres, sheet colour code: blue Application: Glass lined pipelines, compressible
Silicate/quartz, sheet colour code: brown, Application: Steel/stainless steel pipelines and containers, normal density
Barium sulphate, sheet colour code: white, Application: Steel/stainless steel pipelines esp. pharmaceutical and food applications, high density

Properties

Very good media resistance with the exception of liquid alkali metals and some flourine compounds
Fillers in compounds affect the chemical resistance
Temperature resistant from -200 °C to 260 °C [depending on pressure and load]
PTFE is physiologically harmless for continuous operation temperatures up to 260 °C as per BG no. 21
FDA-conform and complies with regulations in Europe and Asia for food use
Anti-adhesive surface
Complies with TA Luft 2002 [VDI 2440/2200] leakage requirements
UV and ageing resistant, no embrittlement
Very good non-stick characteristics
Excellent [di]electric properties

Applications

Non-metallic gaskets for pipeline flanges, device and container flanges, pumps and valves
Broad range of applications primarily in the chemical and petro- chemical sector
Use in food sector and pharmaceutical production
Increased blow-out resistance for designs with inner eyelet
