Fluid conditioning gaskets provide for the most comprehensive range of stainless steel mesh and filter cloth which provide for particulate elimination to protect fill and finish sterile products. Screen construction is 316 Stainless Steel Dutch Twill weave for maximum strength and minimum pressure drop.

Composed of a unique 50/50 blend of non-pigmented PTFE and 316L Passivated and atomized Stainless Steel, Tuf-Steel® is the choice for leak-proof performance and outstanding durability in steam applications. The name may have changed from Tef-Steel to Tuf-Steel®, but the gasket, the part numbers and the quality remains exactly the same.
