GORE Joint Sealant, the first form-in-place gasket material, was invented by Gore more than 50 years ago. Since then, this high-temp rope gasket material has proven successful in sealing steel flanges with large diameters, rectangular or irregular shapes, and rough or pitted surfaces.

When compressed, this soft, conformable cord forms a thin yet strong seal. This high-temp rope gasket material is also a chemical-resistant joint sealant that will withstand challenging process conditions and aggressive process media. It can also seal applications where available bolt loads are low, or in applications that demand a gas-tight sealant.

GORE Joint Sealant is a versatile general assembly sealant for many Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) teams because it seals reliably — and because this form-in-place seal is easy and cost-effective to install. For most applications, just peel off the adhesive backing, apply to the surface, and overlap the ends. 

Of all the joint sealant types, this durable industrial sealant is surely one of the easiest and most versatile solutions for a wide variety of gasketing applications.

Applications

Processes using highly-aggressive media:

  • Chemical processing
  • Pulp and paper
  • Mining and minerals
  • Semiconductor manufacturing
  • Power generation

Processes requiring an expanded PTFE joint sealant material:

  • Those that demand a high-temperature joint sealant
  • Those that employ highly-corrosive media
  • Those that need a gas-tight sealant or vacuum gasket cord

Large and/or non-standard steel equipment flanges:

  • Tank manways
  • Handholes and manholes
  • Ductwork
  • Housing covers

Material

  • 100% expanded PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), with monodirectional strength
  • This product is supplied with an adhesive backer only to aid in the product installation

Temperature Range -269 °C to +315 °C (-452 °F to +600 °F)

Chemical Resistance: Chemical resistance to all media pH 0-14, except molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine.

Operating Range: The maximum applicable pressure and temperature depend mainly on the equipment and installation.

  • Typical use: -60 °C to 150 °C (-76 °F to 300 °F); industrial full vacuum(1) to 10 bar (145 psi)
  • For higher pressures, please contact Gore.

Shelf Life: Expanded PTFE is not subject to aging and can be stored indefinitely. To ensure optimal adhesive function, we recommend use within two years of date of purchase when stored under normal(2)conditions.
