Durlon 9600
Durlon 9600 is an expanded PTFE gasket material designed for use in process piping and equipment, in chemical, pulp and paper, food and beverage and other general industrial applications where resistance to highly aggressive chemicals is required.
Durlon® 9600 is made with only pure PTFE resins. It is suitable for use in steel flanges, as well as flanges where a highly compressible gasket is required. Durlon® 9600 is also suitable for sealing flanges with irregular surfaces. It will not exhibit the cold flow probl ems associated with virgin PTFE, or the hardness problems of some filled PTFE products. It has excellent sealability, cuts easily and separates cleanly from flanges after use. This material conforms to FDA.
Warning: Durlon® gasket materials should never be recommended when both temperature and pressure are at the maximum listed. Properties and applications stated are typical. No applications should be undertaken by anyone without independent study and evaluation for suitability. Never use more than one gasket in one flange joint and never reuse a gasket. Improper use or gasket selection could cause property damage and/or serious injury. Data reported is a compilation of field testing, field service reports and/or in-house testing. While the utmost care has gone into publishing the information contained herein, we assume no responsibility for errors. Specifications and information contained in this flyer are subject to change without notice. This edition cancels and obsoletes all previous editions.
