Gore joint sealant

 Enhancements to the Gore joint sealant have increased its strength by 50%, making it more creep-resistant than before and, thereby, increasing seal reliability. The joint sealant is a versatile form-in-place gasketing material that can be used in most types of sealing applications. Made from GORE expanded PTFE, the material is impervious to virtually all chemicals, is suitable for use in temperatures ranging from –450°F to 600°F, and withstands pressures to 3,000 psig. According to the company, the stronger GORE joint sealant product also offers several cost advantages. Because it is designed to be customized onsite, the joint sealant enables the user to eliminate costly material scrap, lengthy lead times, and the excessive inventory burdens of stocking large or complex flange gaskets that must be pre-cut.
