Expanded PTFE Gasket

Expanded PTFE Gasket

Kaxite expanded PTFE joint sealant tape is a 100% virgin PTFE gasket tape with a self-adhesive backing strip. It forms a custom, leak-tight gasket in place on rough, pitted, scratched, oval and non-standard flange faces without cutting, measuring or die tooling. Rated from −240 °C to +260 °C across pH 0–14, it resists virtually all industrial fluids and carries unlimited shelf life. Standard widths run 3–25 mm with thicknesses of 1.5–10 mm, manufactured in China under ISO 9001:2015 with full batch traceability.

Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape – Sizes, Temperature Range & Chemical Resistance

Kaxite manufactures expanded PTFE joint sealant tape from 100% virgin expanded polytetrafluoroethylene with a self-adhesive backing strip. The tape is supplied on a peel-off liner, so it can be pressed directly onto a flange face and formed into a continuous gasket on site — no cutting dies, no pre-cut inventory, no size guessing.

Because the material is pure expanded PTFE with no fillers, binders or pigments, it delivers the full chemical inertness of virgin PTFE. It conforms to rough, pitted, scratched, corroded and heat-cycled flange faces, and it wraps cleanly around round, oval, rectangular and other non-standard geometries. Service range is −240 °C to +260 °C across the full pH 0–14 range.

Buyers typically specify it for enamel and glass-lined equipment, chemical and petrochemical flanges, pharmaceutical and sanitary lines, and any joint where a conventional cut gasket will not seat properly.

01
Form-in-place

Build the gasket directly on the flange. Rough, pitted and damaged faces seal without re-machining.

02
Zero fillers

No binders, pigments or regrind. Identical chemical resistance to virgin PTFE.

03
Fits any geometry

Round, oval, rectangular and irregular flange outlines from a single roll.

04
No shelf-life loss

Stock it indefinitely. No ageing, no hardening, no wasted inventory.

Where Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape Is Used

  • Chemical and petrochemical flanges — reactor, column and heat-exchanger joints handling acids, caustics and aggressive solvents.
  • Enamel and glass-lined equipment — glass-lined vessels, reactors and piping where a hard cut gasket would crack the lining.
  • Rough, pitted or corroded flange faces — surfaces that have been heat-cycled, eroded or damaged and cannot be re-machined easily.
  • Oval and non-standard flanges — manholes, handholes, oval nozzles and bespoke equipment outlines.
  • Pharmaceutical and sanitary lines — clean-service joints requiring a non-contaminating, chemically inert seal.
  • Food and beverage processing — vessels, fillers and transfer lines where food-contact documentation is required.
  • Large-diameter and irregular pipework — where pre-cut gasket inventory is impractical.

Installation — Four Steps

  1. Clean the flange faceRemove old gasket material, rust, oil and debris. The surface must be clean, dry and free of loose scale.
  2. Peel and applyStrip the backing liner from the self-adhesive side and press the tape onto the flange face, working around the bolt circle.
  3. Cross the endsOverlap the two tape ends and press them together to form a continuous sealing loop. No measuring or die-cutting required.
  4. Assemble and torqueBring the flange halves together and tighten bolts to the specified torque in a star pattern. The tape compresses into a tight, durable seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is expanded PTFE joint sealant tape made of?
It is made from 100% virgin expanded PTFE with no fillers, binders or pigments, supplied with a self-adhesive backing strip on a peel-off liner. Because there are no additives, its chemical resistance matches that of pure virgin PTFE.
What temperature and pressure can it handle?
The service range is −240 °C to +260 °C. Pressure capability depends on flange rating, bolt load and tape thickness; in correctly torqued steel flanges it is commonly used up to 200 bar.
Which chemicals will it resist?
Being pure PTFE, it resists virtually all industrial fluids across the full pH 0–14 range, including strong acids, alkalis, solvents and oxidisers. The only notable exceptions are molten alkali metals, elemental fluorine and some fluorinating agents at elevated temperature.
Can it be used on damaged or pitted flange faces?
Yes. This is one of its main advantages. The expanded structure compresses into scratches, pits and corrosion damage that a conventional cut gasket cannot seal, so flanges often do not need to be re-machined or replaced.
How do I choose the right width and thickness?
As a starting point, match tape width to the flange sealing-face width, and choose thickness according to surface condition — thinner tape (1.5–3 mm) for smooth machined faces, thicker tape (5–10 mm) for rough, pitted or irregular faces. Share your flange standard and DN size and we will recommend a size.
Do you supply custom sizes and private-label rolls?
Yes. We produce custom widths, thicknesses, roll lengths and core sizes, and can supply private-label packaging with your own branding for volume orders.
