What are chemical gaskets?

Gaskets designed for Chemicals can create a resilient sealing effect and thus prevents the content from leaking oil, water and air. 

Advantages of chemical gaskets

• Chemical gaskets can easily be used for all flanges.
• Can be cleaned for 02 service
• Some of the gaskets will not require much bolt load to be  tightened
• Surfaces with a low tightening pressure can still be sealed effectively
• Bolt calculations based on gasket size and thickness may be required
• Material selection assistance may be needed

A few reminders

• Most gaskets for chemical or caustic applications are PTFE based gaskets and  do not require special operations like pressing or heating. This makes them easier to use. There are a few things to keep in mind: 
• PTFE - Chemical gaskets are more easy to remove than solid gaskets.
• Make sure you choose the proper chemical gasket for the right medium.
• Remove oil, dust, water etc. from the surface before applying the gasket.
• Flanges with a large clearance may require a thicker gasket.
