GORE® Gasket Tape Series 1000

Easily and reliably seal glass-lined steel to contain aggressive media, protect equipment, and reduce emissions.

Glass-lined steel equipment is used by chemical processers to deal with aggressive media under demanding conditions. Yet the inherent demands of such systems – high temperatures, alternating system pressures, limited gasket loads and deviation of sealing surfaces – can make it challenging to maintain a tight, lasting seal.

GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 addresses all the challenges of reliably sealing large glass-lined-steel flanges. Made of 100% expanded PTFE (ePTFE), this highly conformable tape is chemically inert, and highly resistant to creep, cold flow and clamp-force loss. Its proprietary barrier core maintains an extra tight seal even at low loads.

What makes GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000 unique?

Proprietary barrier core and ePTFE technology

Barrier core engineered to amplify the available load

• Creates a seal more than 10X tighter than other ePTFE gasket tapes
• Achieves a tight seal that impedes even highly permeating media

Tape excels at resisting cold flow and creep

• Delivers exceptional sealing reliability over time and process cycles relative to other ePTFE gasket tapes

Typical Applications 

Large (≥ DN 600/ASME 24") or non-standard glass-lined steel equipment flanges:

• Columns, mixer vessels, reactors, storage and receiver tanks

Processes utilizing highly-aggressive media in:

• Chemical processing
• Mining and minerals
