Controlled Compression Gaskets - Platinum Silicone

Over-tightening causes hygienic seal intrusion into the piping I.D., which can result in tearing and sticking, causing system contamination. These Controlled Compression Gaskets act as a positive mechanical stop, making “over-tightening” virtually impossible! They are composed of the elastomer of your choice with a ring of ULTEM® vulcanized inside the seal from the ring O.D. to the locating ring. This non-compressible polymer controls clamp compression to exactly the correct amount, allowing the properly positioned seal to make a perfect surface I.D. with the ferrules. No intrusion of the hygienic seal in the product flow is possible.
