A flat, thin, form-in-place gasketing material, Gore-Tex gasket tape is ideal for
full-face gaskets or wherever compressed thickness is critical.
Available in a variety of widths and thicknesses, this "sheet gasketing on a roll" can be
shaped easily and quickly, without precutting, to fit any ring-type or full-face gasket
application. Gore-Tex gasket tape can be used anywhere you need a flat, thin, engineered
gasket.
Outstanding Versatility
Gore-Tex gasket tape withstands temperatures from -450° to +600°F (-268° to +315°C), seals
internal pressures up to 3,000 psi (200 bar) (1,800,000 P x T factor), and is unaffected
by most chemicals (except molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine).
It's ideal for cryogenic applications and is FDA/USDA suitable for
use in food processing and pharmaceutical industries. You can use it just about anywhere. And
it lasts indefinitely, when used within its operating parameters. It is non-contaminating and
non-aging.
Always fits just right
Because it is engineered to exacting width and thickness specifications, Gore-Tex gasket tape
will always fit perfectly on sealing surfaces where compressed thickness and/or width is critical.
It is ideal for any application that has complicated or narrow sealing surfaces, that needs edge to edge
coverage or that requires full-face gasketing.
Ideal for Original Equipment
Gore-Tex gasket tape is an engineered form-in-place material similar to sheet gasketing; yet, it
usually is more cost effective than sheet due to the elimination of scrap. Because of its ability
to fill large surface irregularities, a high grade surface finish is not necessary which can save time
and money. And, stress factors can be calculated accurately using conventional methods. You can depend
on Gore-Tex gasket tape for a consistently perfect fit every time.

Easy to install and remove
Maintenance time is kept to a minimum during both installation and replacement. The self adhesive
backing makes Gore-Tex gasket tape quick and easy to apply, even on surfaces that are slightly
oily or wet. To make a gasket, simply remove the backing, apply to flange, cut to length and cross
over the ends - there's never any wasteful scrap. For full face gasketing, the bolt holes can be
punched out after application with a hole punch or any sharp object. And, when it's time to remove
Gore-Tex gasket tape, it usually peels off the flange with no scraping required.
Gore-Tex expanded PTFE makes the difference. Its highly fibrillated structure contains millions
of fibrils that give unique characteristics to all gasketing products made from Gore-Tex expanded
PTFE. On compression, the fibrils lock together, forming a solid homogeneous mass that is impervious
to gases and liquids. Gore-Tex expanded PTFE is flexible and stable under high temperatures,
and maintains its high tensile strength. It is incredibly resistant to creep, providing
an extremely tight seal for controlling fugitive emissions. No other form of PTFE is made
this way or exhibits these characteristics.
