About Durlon® Gasket Materials

Economical & Premium Compressed Sheets

Inventory Reduction - Process Safety - Purchasing Efficiencies - Reduced Chance of Maintenance Error

Durlon® gasket materials are superior to other product offerings in areas that matter to the end user and gasket cutter, including:

  • Cut-ability
  • Consistency
  • Exacting tolerances

These features make Durlon® gasket materials easy on tooling for high speed or hand-cut projects. The anti-stick coating applied to the surface during the manufacturing process allows for improved separation from flange surfaces during removal, saving time and energy.

Wide range of use, excellent flexibility

Durlon® compressed gasket materials are high-density products featuring the most homogenous combination of minerals, synthetic fibers and elastomers. They are used in a wide variety of industries on a broad range of chemical applications at varying temperatures and pressures. Their excellent flexibility prevents large, narrow flange gaskets from breaking during cutting and installation, and their superior recovery ensures tight sealing during thermal cycling. Additional features include:

  • Close-range compressibility for consistency and accurate spacing
  • Reliability backed by many years of experience
  • Local distribution for quick and easy delivery
  • Branding for easy identification and assurance of genuine Durlon® gasket material helps prevent misapplication
  • All full-sized sheets are date coded and quality assurance traceable
  • A release agent on both sides of the sheet ensures good anti-stick properties
  • Durlon® filled PTFE and flexible graphite gasket materials complement our compressed sheet family by giving you the right gasket for all of your gasket needs.

Process Safety Management

Process safety is enhanced through outstanding sealability and bolt load retention:

  • Tighter joints create operational value
  • Emissions control
  • Energy consumption
  • Waste water treatment cost reductions
  • Best practices
  • Removes and handles with ease
  • Color coding for trouble-free identification, minimizes chance of misapplication

Durlon® 9000 Family

Contaminant Free

The Durlon® 9000 family of products offers exceptional value compared to other conventional PTFE, filled PTFE and expanded PTFE products. The extraordinary properties, which include superior sealability, torque retention and consistency, are the result of the most sophisticated manufacturing process in the PTFE gasketing industry.

The 9000 series of products are manufactured in a contaminant free environment and computer controlled following strict quality control procedures, which includes ISO 9001:2008 certification. Durlon® 9000 series materials are contaminant free, making them the perfect choice for industries where product contamination is a major concern, such as electronics, food and pharmaceuticals.

The Durlon® 9000 series of gasket materials have been color coded to ensure differentiation, allowing for the selection of the correct gasket for specific applications.

Flexible Graphite & Durlon® CFG

For Your Soft Gasket Needs

Durlon® Flexible Graphite gasket materials complement our compressed sheet family by giving you the right gasket for all of your soft gasket needs. Whether your requirement is a tough chemical service, or high temperature application, you can depend on Durlon®.

The Durlon® CFG (Corrugated Flexible Graphite) will maintain a tight seal in a wide range of initial seating stresses. The CFG is fire safe, blow-out resistant and has excellent recovery properties. The CFG can be fabricated in special shapes for applications like heat exchanger gaskets and other equipment.

Durlon® Flexible Graphite is available in several styles. These include homogenous sheet and laminated styles with various types of core materials. Additionally, grades with oxidation inhibitors or high purity grades for nuclear service are available on special order.

Durlon® Spiral Wound Gaskets (SWG)

Spiral Wound Gaskets Durlon® Spiral Wound Gaskets are made with an alternating combination of a preformed engineered metal strip and a more compressible filler material that creates an excellent seal when compressed. The engineered shape acts as a spring under load, resulting in a very resilient seal under varying conditions.

The strip metallurgy and filler material can be selected to seal a wide range of applications. All Durlon® SWG styles have been engineered to precise manufacturing tolerances that allow for lower stress (bolt load) sealing compared to conventional spiral wound gaskets.

Manufactured according to ASME B16.20 standards. Quality Assurance complies with API Specifications Q1 and ISO 9001:2008.
