Gore Joint Sealant and Gore Gasket Tape Series 500
Created more than 40 years ago, Gore Joint Sealant was the first form-in-place gasket. It was and still is a great sealing solution for steel flanges with large diameters, irregular shapes, or rough/pitted surfaces. It forms a thin yet strong seal when compressed and works in applications where bolt loads are low.

Over time, and for any number of reasons, flanges are prone to surface deviations. Damaged areas will tend to create a leak path that the gasket must try to seal.
Flange damage most commonly occurs when removing previously used gasket material from the sealing surface - tools such as chisels, or screw drivers, should be avoided. A brass wire brush is suggested.
The video below proves how well GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500 works on flanges with surface deviations versus a standard filled PTFE gasket.

A spool of GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500 provides an immediate, cost-effective solution to sealing challenges that demand reliable performance and extended durability. This advanced product, with its industry-leading creep resistance, is designed to maximize the operational reliability of large steel-flanged applications, especially those with thermal cycling.
It eliminates the lag time, costs and complexities associated with engineering, specifying, procuring, shipping, storing and installing traditional one-piece prefabricated gaskets. It also delivers exceptionally reliable sealing performance, while making multiple gasketing installations faster, more cost-effective and simpler.
