Blue PTFE is the material of choice whenever low temperature flexibility or gasket memory is not required (not recommended where large temperature variations occur frequently, leakage can occur). Blue PTFE has almost no extractables, has a low absorption rate and excellent resistance to process fluids. It can remain in service for longer periods of time in both water and steam. For continuous use, high pressure clamps are recommended to prevent leakage resulting from temperature variations.
This gasket meets all FDA Title 21 CFR 177.2600, USDA, 3A® and cGMP specifications.
Blue PTFE gaskets are animal-derived ingredient free and meet USP Class IV, EP 3.1.9, and cytotoxicity specifications.
Temperature Range: -450°F to 550°F
