Gylon® Gasket Benefits:

GYLON®, a product of Garlock Sealing Technologies, is a reinforced PTFE gasket material that exhibits significantly reduced creep relaxation, along with outstanding chemical resistance. It is not recommended to reuse a gasket.  A gasket's function is to conform to flange high and low spots when compressed, and its ability to reseal decreases after it is compressed.  Gaskets that contain rubber and which have experienced elevated temperatures will be even less likely to reseal.  The benefits of a Gylon® Gasket include:

• Highly Resistant to Chemicals - capable of withstanding a broad range of chemicals during extended service periods.
• Tighter Seal - provides superior performance compared to conventional PTFE; ensures reduced emissions and product loss
• Significant Cost Savings - reduces operation costs by minimizing maintenance required; loss of fluids; minimal energy consumption; reduction in waste; lower inventory costs
• Large Sheet Sizes Available - some of the largest sheet sizes available in the industry; this translates to better material utilization (more gaskets and seals per sheet), with less waste material
• Easy installation, easy to cut - GYLON® Style 3540 is perfect for warped, scratched, pitted or wavy flanges.
