multiFlon® Tape
Multidirectional expanded PTFE gasket from the spool
multidirectional ePTFE gasket tape for metallic and glass lined flanges, TA-Luft certified – FDA compliant
multiFlon® Tape is the high-quality seal for reducing maintenance and material costs for large pipelines and metallic or enamelled apparatus flanges!
multiFlon® Tape is a multidirectional ePTFE gasket tape made from 100% pure PTFE.
After simple, application-specific installation, the result is a high-quality and efficient seal whose properties are directly comparable with a seal made of sheet material.
The multi-directional ePTFE gives the material excellent creep resistance to ensure a permanently tight and blow-out proof seal.
multiFlon® ePTFE gasket tapes are self-adhesive on one side, flexible and extremely adaptable.
multiFlon® gasket tapes in the “GMP” version are available for demanding applications with high purity requirements.
