Creating Durable Seals in Glass-Lined Steel Equipment with Gore
Gore's Gasket Tape 1000 Series is made of expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) and is specifically designed to address the most challenging seal applications and demanding environments.
Equipment made of glass-lined steel is used when manufacturing or processing aggressive chemicals such as aniline derivatives and sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. The Achilles heel of such systems is the gaskets

Sealing Challenges
Glass-lined steel equipment is used by chemical processers to deal with aggressive media under demanding conditions. Yet the inherent demands of such systems – high temperatures, alternating system pressures, limited gasket loads and deviation of sealing surfaces – can make it challenging to maintain a tight, lasting seal.
While the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material itself offers good chemical resistance, it does
