Inertex® is 100% virgin PTFE.
The patented process for Inertex® UHF (Uniformly and Highly Fibrillated) products improves upon existing expanded PTFE products. Inertex® is a more dense form of expanded PTFE. It provides the user with even less creep relaxation and cold flow than existing expanded PTFE products. Inertex® is 100% virgin PTFE with no fillers or binders and provides all of the spectacular properties and benefits of PTFE. The unique properties created by the Inertex® process makes Inertex® the most effective and versatile material in its class. Inertex® easily conforms to damaged or pitted flange surfaces. It also requires a low compressive load to seal, making it an excellent material for FRP and glass lined flanges. Its low coefficient of friction of .2 (like wet ice) means gaskets are easily removable.
Inertex® is:
-good from 450oF to +600o
-applicable in pressures from full vacuum to 3000 psi
-chemically inert throughout the pH range of 0 to 14
-FDA suitable (FDA 21 CFR 177.1550)
