PTFE TRI-CLAMP gaskets
TRI-CLAMP gaskets are used as a sealing element between two inox steel “clamp” fittings (called ferrules) closed by a collar without using bolts; in addition to that TRI-CLAMP are able to self-centre their position thanks to the half spherical form on both the surfaces of the gasket that match perfectly the carve of the two “ferrules”.
TRI-CLAMP are mostly used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry, both on laboratory and production sites; these application needs perfect cleaning, hygiene and sterilization; the possibility to clean and remove the gasket easily made the TRI-CLAMP the perfect solution for these peculiar applications.

MATERIALS
- FLON-CHEM 1121: is a virgin “premium grade” PTFE classified for medical use following the legislation USP class VI at 121°C. Available even in the “envelope” solution with rubber inserts like EPDM, FLON-CHEM 1006 FKM and VMQ.- FLON-CHEM 1050 BLUE: is a modified PTFE reinforced with cave glass microspheres. Thanks to its high elasticity and elastic return could reach the best adaptation possible even with low tightening torques..
- FLON-CHEM 1045 SILVER: is a special mix made by 50% virgin PTFE and 50% inox 316 spherical and passivated. These particular gaskets grant a higher stability and duration standard and are used when you need a lot of sterilization process (S.I.P.). Specifically designed for steam resistance and metal detectable!!
- FLON-CHEM 1086 DETEK: revolutionary virgin blue PTFE detectable by optical scanner, x rays, and metal detectors. X-ray detectable!!
