Expanded Teflon tape is produced by expanding 100% virgin PTFE into a highly fibrillated structure which is softer and more flexible than regular PTFE and thus conforms easily to irregular and rough surfaces. In addition, the expanded material is easier to compress and exhibits excellent resistance to creep and cold flow. Teadit 24BB gasket tape is supplied as a continuous tape with a self-adhesive backing strip to facilitate easy installation.

APPLICATION / SERVICE

This stripping easily seals flanges with rough or irregular surfaces and requires less bolt torque than other gasket materials. It is particularly suited for sealing glass lined and plastic flanges. Made from 100% virgin PTFE, this style can be used to seal all aggressive chemicals over the entire 0 to 14 pH range, except for molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. It will not contaminate or discolor flow media and it is suitable for FDA service. It has no smell or taste. It is neither contaminating nor toxic and it fulfills the FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 Perfluorocarbon Regulations.
