🧩 PTFE Full Face Gasket | Teflon Gasket

High-Performance Non-Stick, Chemical Resistant Gasket Solution for Industrial Flange Sealing

By RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES – Your Trusted Gasket Supplier in Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei)

 

1. Product Overview

The PTFE Full Face Gasket (also known as Teflon Full Face Gasket) from RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES is a precision-engineered sealing component designed to provide maximum chemical resistance, non-stick performance, and thermal stability for industrial flange joints.

Manufactured from 100% Virgin Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) — a premium fluoropolymer material — this gasket offers exceptional inertness, broad chemical compatibility (pH 0–14), and durability under wide temperature ranges from −200°C to +260°C.

These gaskets are pre-cut to exact flange dimensions (ANSI, JIS, BS, PN standards) and designed to cover the entire flange face, including the bolt holes. This ensures a complete sealing surface, preventing leaks even under high chemical or thermal stress conditions.

3. Product Construction & Design

RUBASIA’s PTFE Full Face Gasket is designed for flat-faced flanges where full surface coverage is necessary to prevent corrosive media leakage.

Each gasket is precision CNC-cut or die-cut to match the flange’s outer diameter and bolt hole pattern. The bolt holesallow the gasket to align perfectly with flange bolts, ensuring uniform load distribution and balanced sealing pressure.

The full-face design differs from a “ring type” gasket because it extends to the outer flange edge — protecting the entire sealing area from media attack or corrosion.

This design is ideal for corrosive or clean-service pipelines, where both mechanical integrity and contamination prevention are critical.

 

4. Chemical Resistance & Compatibility

PTFE is chemically inert to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents. It is unaffected by:

• Acids: Hydrochloric, Sulphuric, Nitric, Phosphoric, Hydrofluoric
• Bases: Sodium Hydroxide, Ammonium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide
• Solvents: Acetone, Benzene, Toluene, Alcohols, Ethers, Ketones
• Oxidizing Agents: Chlorine, Bromine, Hydrogen Peroxide
• Hydrocarbons: Diesel, Petrol, Crude oil, Aromatics
• Water and Steam: No swelling or degradation

Because PTFE does not absorb moisture or react with chemicals, it’s perfect for food, pharmaceutical, and cleanroomenvironments.

7. Installation Guidelines

Proper installation ensures long-term gasket performance. Follow these steps:

1. Surface Preparation:
   Clean flange faces thoroughly; remove rust, oil, old gasket residue, and dirt.
2. Inspect Flange Flatness:
   Ensure flanges are parallel and free from surface damage.
3. Gasket Placement:
   Align the PTFE full face gasket with flange bolt holes accurately.
4. Bolt Lubrication:
   Apply lubricant to bolt threads to ensure uniform torque application.
5. Tightening Sequence:
   Use a crisscross pattern (star pattern) for tightening bolts gradually in 3 stages:
   • Stage 1: Hand-tighten bolts evenly.
   • Stage 2: Tighten to 50% torque.
   • Stage 3: Tighten to final torque (as per flange rating).
6. Torque Recommendation:
   Use torque values according to flange size, pressure class, and bolt type.
7. Inspection:
   After assembly, check for leaks under low pressure before full operation.
8. Re-Torque (if required):
   After 24 hours of operation, re-check bolt torque to ensure seal integrity.
