TFM 1600 Gasket Seal


ESI's TFM 1600 Gasket Seal is an advanced type of PTFE seal designed to prevent leakage between flanges or fittings in high-purity and high-temperature systems. Made from modified PTFE (TFMTM), it offers lower porosity, better stress recovery, and higher heat resistance than a standard PTFE seal, ensuring a tighter and more reliable seal over time. It is widely used in semiconductor, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing applications that demand durability, cleanliness, and chemical inertness.

Key Features

    • Modified PTFE Structure

Made from TFMTM 1600, a modified PTFE with a tighter molecular structure, the material forms a denser, more uniform surface than PTFE. This enhanced structure lays the foundation for its superior sealing strength, longer service life, and resistance to fluid penetration.

    • High Elastic Recovery

Exhibiting improved flexibility and rebound, the gasket can recover its shape after compression, maintaining contact pressure on flange surfaces even under long-term mechanical load. This property prevents creep or stress relaxation, ensuring the seal remains tight over time.

    • Outstanding Chemical and Thermal Resistance

TFM 1600 withstands aggressive acids, alkalis, and chemical solvents, maintaining integrity in corrosive gas or liquid systems. It also tolerates continuous service temperatures up to 340ºC, making it ideal for steam lines, acid scrubbers, and chemical reactors where standard PTFE may soften or deform.

    • Smooth, Non-Stick Surface

The ultra-smooth, low-porosity surface prevents particle adhesion and residue buildup, enabling easier cleaning and minimizing contamination risk. This is particularly valuable in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and food-grade production environments that require strict cleanliness.

    • Excellent Dielectric and Low-Friction Properties

The gasket retains PTFE’s dielectric strength and self-lubricating qualities, reducing friction and wear during installation or operation. This ensures stable insulation and long-term sealing reliability in high-purity instruments, valves and piping assemblies.
