PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) & Expanded PTFE (ePTFE):

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) gaskets are widely used in applications where chemical resistance and material stability are critical. Known for their non-reactive properties, PTFE gaskets perform exceptionally well in environments exposed to aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents—making them a preferred choice across chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and food-grade applications.

Unlike traditional gasket materials, PTFE does not degrade easily when exposed to corrosive media, and it maintains its integrity across a broad temperature range. This makes it a reliable sealing solution for systems where contamination, chemical attack, or material breakdown cannot be tolerated.

• Chemical processing systems (acids, solvents, corrosive media)
• Petrochemical and refinery applications
• Food and beverage processing equipment (sanitary systems)
• Pharmaceutical and high-purity processing lines
• Water and wastewater treatment facilities
• Pumps, valves, and pipe flange connections
• Glass-lined equipment and plastic piping systems
• Low bolt load and large-diameter flange applications (ePTFE)
• Corrosive fluid transfer and containment systems
• HVAC and utility systems handling aggressive media

Graphite

Graphite gaskets are engineered for extreme temperature and high-pressure applications where traditional materials cannot maintain sealing integrity. With exceptional thermal stability and resistance to harsh operating conditions, graphite is a preferred material in refineries, petrochemical plants, and power generation facilities.

Unlike elastomer-based materials, graphite maintains its structure and sealing performance at elevated temperatures, making it ideal for systems exposed to continuous heat, thermal cycling, and aggressive media.

• Refinery process lines and petrochemical systems
• High-temperature steam lines and boiler systems
• Heat exchangers (shell & tube applications)
• Pipe flanges and high-pressure connections
• Power generation equipment and turbines
• Oil & gas processing systems
• Furnace, oven, and high-heat industrial equipment
• Valve and pump sealing in high-temperature service
• Exhaust systems and thermal cycling applications
• Chemical processing systems handling aggressive media

FFKM Materials (Kalrez® & Chemraz®)

FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) gaskets represent the highest level of performance in elastomer sealing materials, engineered for applications where extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, and critical reliability requirements are present.

At M&P Sealing, we supply and fabricate FFKM sealing solutions using premium materials such as DuPont™ Kalrez® and Greene Tweed Chemraz®—trusted across industries where failure is not an option.

• Chemical processing systems handling aggressive acids, solvents, and corrosive media
• Semiconductor manufacturing and high-purity processing equipment
• Oil & gas and petrochemical refining (high-temp, high-chemical exposure)
• Pharmaceutical and biotech processing systems
• Pumps, valves, and mechanical seals in critical service
• Reactor vessels and chemical transfer lines
• High-temperature O-ring sealing in compressors and rotating equipment
• Aerospace and specialty industrial applications requiring extreme performance
• Vacuum systems and ultra-clean environments
• Applications with unknown or mixed chemical exposure

Rubber (Elastomers)

Rubber (elastomer) gaskets provide a versatile and cost-effective sealing solution across a wide range of industrial applications. Known for their flexibility, compressibility, and ability to conform to flange surfaces, elastomer gaskets are ideal for creating reliable seals in systems handling fluids, gases, and varying operating conditions.

• Available in materials such as
  • Nitrile (Buna-N)
  • EPDM, Neoprene
  • Viton®

• Pipe flanges and general sealing applications
• Pumps, valves, and compressors
• Hydraulic and pneumatic systems

• Industrial machinery and equipment sealing
• Low to moderate pressure sealing applications

Compressed Non-Asbestos Fiber (CNA)

Compressed Non-Asbestos (CNA) gasket materials are a widely used, cost-effective solution for industrial sealing applications requiring reliable performance under moderate temperature and pressure conditions. Manufactured from a blend of synthetic fibers and elastomer binders, CNA materials provide a balanced combination of strength, flexibility, and sealing capability.

CNA gaskets are commonly used as a general-purpose alternative to older asbestos-based materials, delivering dependable sealing performance across a wide range of industrial environments.

• Pipe flanges in general industrial service
• Water, steam, and compressed air systems
• Oil and fuel handling systems (moderate conditions)

• Cost-effective solution for plant-wide maintenance and utility systems
• Commonly used in pipe flanges, pumps, and valves

Blue-Gard® is a dependable choice for facilities looking for reliable, everyday sealing performance without the need for specialty materials.

GYLON® is a high-performance PTFE-based gasket material engineered for superior chemical resistance and low creep relaxation. It is ideal for applications where standard PTFE or elastomers may fail.

• Outstanding resistance to aggressive chemicals and corrosive media
• Excellent dimensional stability and sealing reliability
• Reduced creep and cold flow compared to conventional PTFE
• Suitable for both standard and critical sealing applications

GYLON® is widely used in chemical processing, food-grade, and high-purity environments where contamination and leakage cannot be tolerated.

Stress Saver® materials are designed for applications requiring effective sealing under low bolt load conditions. These gaskets incorporate a PTFE facing with a compressible core to improve sealing performance on irregular or damaged flanges.

• Excellent conformability to imperfect flange surfaces
• Reliable sealing in low-load and low-pressure environments
• Ideal for large-diameter or lightweight flange connections
• Reduces the risk of leakage without increasing bolt stress

Key Factors to Consider

Operating Temperature

Temperature plays a major role in material selection.

• High temperatures: Graphite or metal-reinforced gaskets
• Moderate temperatures: CNA or elastomer materials
• Extreme heat + chemicals: FFKM or specialty materials

Internal Pressure

Pressure determines the type of gasket construction required.

• High-pressure systems: Spiral wound or reinforced gaskets
• Low-pressure systems: Elastomer or ePTFE gaskets

Media (Chemical Compatibility)

The fluid or gas being sealed must be compatible with the gasket material.

• Aggressive chemicals: PTFE or FFKM
• Oils and fuels: Viton® or Buna-N
• Water and steam: EPDM

Incorrect material selection can lead to rapid degradation and seal failure.

Flange Type & Surface Condition

Flange design and condition directly impact sealing performance.

• Raised face flanges: Standard ring gaskets
• Full-face flanges: Full-face gaskets for even load distribution
• Damaged or uneven flanges: ePTFE or soft, conformable materials
