High-performance ePTFE sheet material — soft, conformable, chemically inert. Temperature rated to -260°C.
Expanded PTFE (ePTFE) is a microporous, highly compressible form of PTFE. It combines the outstanding chemical resistance of standard PTFE with a unique soft, flexible structure that conforms perfectly to irregular flange surfaces — sealing at very low bolt stress without creep or cold flow.

ePTFE sheet outperforms conventional gasket materials in the most demanding sealing applications.
Withstands virtually all chemicals across the full pH range (0–14) — including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oxidizers. Only molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine can affect it.
Rated from -260°C (cryogenic / LN2 environments) to +260°C continuous service. Suitable for liquid nitrogen, steam, thermal oil, and high-temperature chemical processes.
The expanded microporous structure eliminates cold flow and creep under bolt load. Seals maintain integrity indefinitely without re-torquing — unlike conventional PTFE.
Highly compressible at 63%+ compression ratio. Conforms to irregular, damaged, or warped flange surfaces even at low bolt stress — no compound mating required.
Ready to use straight from the sheet. No curing cycle, no bake-out procedure, no waiting. Reduces downtime and installation labor significantly.
Complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.1550. Available in USP Class VI grades for food, pharmaceutical, and ultra-pure water applications. No contamination, no particles.
