Description
These DIN 11851 gaskets (sealing rings) are made from high-quality PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) material.
PTFE is well-suited for use in a wide temperature range, typically from -200°C to +260°C (-328°F to 500°F), making it ideal for both low and high-temperature applications.
PTFE is known for its excellent chemical resistance, making it highly effective in applications where exposure to aggressive substances is a concern. It can withstand a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils, which makes it ideal for use in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
PTFE is non-reactive, ensuring that it does not release harmful substances, and it meets stringent safety standards, making it suitable for food-grade applications. Its inert nature prevents contamination, ensuring the integrity and safety of the product being processed or transported.
The material has excellent wear and tear resistance, making it ideal for environments where gaskets or seals are subjected to mechanical stress, such as in food processing machinery, pumps, valves, and filling lines.
In addition, PTFE has superb anti-stick properties, making it useful in food-grade conveyor belts and hoses, especially when transporting sticky or greasy foods. Its flexibility and chemical inertness allow it to maintain a reliable seal in both static and dynamic applications.
PTFE is commonly used in industries where food safety and hygiene are critical, including food manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and chemical processing, where it provides a durable and safe sealing solution.
