Versatile and easy-to-install, this 100% ePTFE sealing cord is a cost-effective solution for large steel flanges in general-use applications.
Joint Sealant, the first form-in-place gasket, was invented by Gore more than 40 years ago. It is a time-tested sealing solution for steel flanges with large diameters, rectangular or irregular shapes, and rough or pitted surfaces. When compressed, this soft, conformable cord forms a thin yet strong seal. It can also seal applications where available bolt loads are low.
Versatile GORE Joint Sealant is standard sealing material for many MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) teams because it seals reliably – and because it’s easy and cost-effective to install. For most applications, just peel off the adhesive backing, apply to the surface, and overlap the ends.

Performance
- Min Temperature (F) -452°
- Max Temperature (F) 600°
- Max Pressure (PSI) 870
Typical Applications
- Large/non-standard steel equipment flanges, such as tank manways, ductwork, and housing covers
- Processes using highly-aggressive media, such as chemical processing, pulp & paper, mining & minerals, semicon, and power gen
Features and Benefits
- Creates a reliable seal
- Gasket creation and gasket installation are faster and easier with GORE Joint Sealant
- Broad chemical resistance profile: Chemical resistance to all media pH 0–14, except molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine
- Made of 100% monoaxially expanded PTFE (ePTFE), using Gore’s expansion technology to create a high degree of fibrillation
