NOVATEX
GASKET SHEET (PTFE)
|
| The Novatex family of gasket sheets are
produced by a proprietary expansion process which generates a highly
fibrillated microstructure. This
unique structure maximises performance predictability and stability
while minimizing creep and cold flow. |
| Novatex Gasket Sheet has an unlimited shelf life and will not become
brittle, age or otherwise deteriorate in the application. Novatex is
unaffected by UV, Ozone and Corona.
It can be easily hand or die cut when necessary Novatex can be easily removed
from flanges due to the non-sticking nature of PTFE. |
|
| Features |
| • 100% pure PTFE |
| • Non-contaminating, non-toxic |
| • Meets FDA requirement (FDA21 CFR177.1550) |
| • Withstands a range of temperatures from
-196°C to +260°C |
| • Easy to cut and install |
| • Low compressive load to seal |
| • Seals rough or damaged flanges |
| • Good sealability |
| • Highly compressible |
|
| • Resistant to creep and cold flow |
| • Unaffected by most chemicals pH range 0-14 |
| • Uniform and highly fibrillated microstructure in multi-direction |

NOVATEX JOINT SEALANT
|
| Novatex Joint Sealant looks and feels different from
other joint sealant products. It is smooth and flexible with an exceptionally
smooth texture and density. Under the surface is a microscopic structure
that makes this remarkable material one of the strongest, most versatile
sealants available today. |
| Novatex Joint Sealant has high tensile strength, flexibility and tough properties.
It is an ideal economic sealing gasket with a superior performance even in highly
corrosive applications. Its resistance to chemical and thermal attack is excellent. |
|
| Features |
|
| • 100% expanded PTFE |
| • Temperature range from -196°C to
+260°C |
| • Unaffected by common chemicals PH range
0-14 |
| • Non-contaminating, non-toxic |
| • FDA suitable (FDA21 CRR177.1550) |
| • Environmentally friendly |
| • Will not age or harden in service |
| • Extremely strong; pressure range from
full vacuum to 3000psi |

|
| NOVATEX GASKET TAPE |
| Novatex Gasket Tape looks and feels different from other gasket tape
products. It is very versatile, soft and flexible with an exceptionally
uniform density. Under the surface is a microscopic structure that
makes this remarkable
material one of the strongest, most versatile sealants available today.
Lasts longer, saves time and cost. |
|
| Features |
| • Excellent for use on glass lined, plastic
and FRP plastic flanges |
| • Can be used on odd shaped flanges |
| • Excellent for repairing worn spiral wound
and metal gaskets |
| • Eliminates the need for etched PTFE |
| • Wider widths are useful for volume cutting
of gaskets |
| • Easy to use, will not unravel or split
and is simple to install |
|
|
| NOVATEX VALVE STEM PACKING |
| Novatex Valve Stem Packing is made from 100% expanded PTFE. This
highly pliable material will conform to worn stems and packing glands
to help eliminate the need for costly downtime and repair. The unique
properties of PTFE assure valve operation even after long periods of
inactivity. Novatex Valve Stem Packing will not harden or
dry out in service and will normally out-live the life of the valve. |
|
| Features |
| • 100% expanded virgin PTFE |
| • Withstands a wide range of temperatures
from -196°C to +260°C |
| • Unaffected by common chemicals, pH range
0-14 |
| • Non-contaminating, non-toxic |
| • FDA suitable |
| • Will not age, harden, shrink or dry out
in service |
| • Withstands the pressure limits for which the
valve was designed |
| • Adds service life to old and worn valves |
| • Valves still operate after long periods
of non-use |
| • Helps meet tough FDA requirements for
fugitive emissions |
