Type of Gasket
There are many types of gaskets based on the ingredients, including the following:
a. Viton Gaskets are widely used for systems where there are chemicals that are acidic or basic, hydrocarbons and oils, both vegetable and animal.
b. PTFE gaskets (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or Teflon gaskets are the most widely known gaskets, because they are multi-functional. Teflon has good resistance to various chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide.
c. Graphite Gasket: Graphite is flexible resistant to heat. In addition, this type of gasket is also resistant to very acidic and alkaline conditions.
d. EPDM (Ethylene Diene Monomer Propylene (M-class) rubber) Material: Gaskets with EPDM material are resistant to ozone, Ultra Violet rays, natural oils and various types of chemicals.
