Gore Joint Sealant

A  form-in-place gasket material made of a 100% ePTFE sealing cord with a self-adhesive backing. Formerly known as Gore-Tex Joint Sealant, this product is the first form-in-place gasket ever developed.

Applications:

A time-tested sealing solution for steel flanges with large diameters, rectangular or irregular shapes, and rough or pitted surfaces.

When compressed, this soft, conformable cord forms a thin yet strong seal  Can seal applications where available bolt loads are low  Excellent for Tank Manways, Ductwork, and Housing Covers  Great for Processes using highly-aggressive media such as:

• Chemical processing
• Pulp and paper
• Mining and minerals
• Semiconductor manufacturing
• Power generation
• Successful sealing applications for over 40 years
