Virgin Virgin PTFEis the most common sealing material

and is suitablefor almost all media as it has excelent -45 C~160 C 70 bar
PTFE Polytetrafluoro- White General Chemical
chemical resistance. (-49 F~320 F) 1000 psi
ethylene

15% Glass Filled Reinforced PTFEchemical For low and medium

15% Glass Filled resistance is compatible to PTFEand improved -45 C~180 C 140 bar
RTFE Off-White pressure service for steam
Reinforced PTFE cycle life and greater pressure temperature rating (-49 F~356 F) 2000 psi
service up to 150 psig

Second Generation PTFE,offers better creep. Lower Ideal for application

Modified PTFE coefficient of friction provides lower torque values -57 C~180 C 140 bar
TFM1600 White requiring higher purity 2000 psi
(PFA & PTFE) and resist deformation. This is excellent application (-70 F~356 F )
such as semi-conductor

Carbon Graphite Reinforced PTFEan excellent seat For high temperature and
CTFE Carbon Graphite material for steam and thermal services and having high pressure service for 140 bar
-45 C~200 C
good abrasion resistance.Due to its high cycling Black 2000 psi
MG1241 Reinforced PTFE capabilities, it is the reccomended soft seat for (-49 F~392 F) steam service up to 450
modulating control application. psig

Glass and Metal Oxide PTFEfilled withstand For high temperature and
MS02 pressure than CTFE.Good resistance under load -45 C~180 C high pressure service for 140 bar
MS02 Filled PTFE Grey

Ultra High UHMW-PEis ideal for use in low level radiation Best suited for tobbaco
service. This seat also meets the requirements of the -30 C~80 C 350 bar
UHMW-PE Molecular Weight White duty and abrasion
tobbaco industry where PTFEis prohibited and its (-22 F~176 F) 5000 psi
Polyethylene resistance
offers an excellent resistance to abrasion medium.
Stainless Powder is combines the strength of metal
with the lubricity of PTFE.50% SS316 powder Best suited for abrasion
Stainless Powder -28 C~220 C 150 bar
SS/PTFE combines with 50% PTFEoffers abrasion resistance Grey resistance and control
PTFE of metal with higher pressure and temperature rating (-18 F~428 F) 2130 psi
