Q-Line Gaskets - PTFE
Note: These gaskets are available as Metal Detectable/X-Rayable Detectomers®, contact for pricing and availability.
PTFE Sanitary Q-Line Gaskets are the material of choice where low temperature flexibility and hygienic seal memory are not required. We don't recommend using PTFE Sanitary Gaskets where large temperature variations frequently occur because the affect on the PTFE's density makes joints more prone to leakage. PTFE gaskets provide excellent heat resistance, second only to Tuf-Steel®, with an operating range from -100°F to 500°F. From a chemical standpoint PTFE has good stability, almost no extractables, a low absorption rate, and excellent resistance to process fluids. These John Perry Gaskets can remain in service for long periods of time in both water and steam applications.
