Durlon® 9600 Compressed Fiber Gasket Material

Expanded PTFE Gasket Material 100% Pure PTFE Resins

Durlon 9600 Sheet Gasket Material

Application

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 suitable for use in steel flanges and flanges with irregular surfaces. Style 9600 conforms to FDA requirements.

Composition

Durlon® 9600 is made with only pure PTFE resins. It is suitable for use in steel flanges and 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 problems associated with virgin PTFE or the hardness problems of some other filled PTFE products. It has excellent sealability, cuts easily and separates cleanly from flanges after use.

Properties and applications shown are typical. No application 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 personal injury.
