FEP Encapsulated Gaskets
ROW Incorporated
A Superior Seal for Chemical Applications
TFE-O-SIL® Silicone and Viton™ gaskets for cam lock couplings, encapsulated with FEP, are designed for use with practically all chemicals, even in the toughest corrosive environments. These gaskets combine the best qualities of two materials to form a superior seal: Elastomer as the core for resilience, and FEP on the outside for chemical resistance. Not an envelope gasket, the elastomeric core of every TFE-O-SIL® gasket is fully encased.
- Maintains reliable sealing across a broad temperature range, suitable for various industrial applications.
- Exceptional chemical resistance and durability in harsh environments with FEP Encapsulated Gaskets.
For part numbers of gaskets with Viton cores, substitute V for S. warning 1/2" size not available with Viton™core (only Silicone)
TFE-O-SIL® Features:
Excellent Chemical Resistance - FEP is chemically inert to almost all industrial chemicals and solvents, even at elevated temperatures and pressures
Resiliency - Elastomeric cores provide an assured tight seal
Wide Temperature Range - Continuous service temperatures from
-75°F (-60°C) to +400°F (+205°C) for FEP & silicone,
-15°F (-26°C) to +400°F (+205°C) for FEP & Viton™
Low Coefficient of Friction - Lubricious surface of FEP for easier gasket insertion
Nonstick Surface - Almost all substances release easily so cleanup is easier
Universal Seal - Handles practically any fluid. Eliminates matching the myriad elastomeric formulations with a specific requirement
Sanitary - Eliminates contamination associated with elastomeric gaskets.
White Gaskets - Introducing our latest line of TFE-O-SIL® Silicone core gaskets encapsulated with FEP. With their clean, sanitary appearance, our white gaskets are ideal for pharmaceutical applications. They are available in coupling sizes from 1/2" through 6" for temperature ranges from -75°F (-60°C) to +400°F (+205°C).
