Rubber Fab TUF-FLEX® FKM Core Unitized Gaskets

Introducing a technologically advanced new hygienic seal, TUF-FLEX®. This revolutionary new seal from Rubber Fab Technologies Group is the world's only unitized Tri-Clamp gasket and is setting new standards for purity, performance and flexibility. Designed to meet critical requirements in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, ultrapure water, WFI (water-for-injection) and difficult food and beverage processing, TUF-FLEX® out performs other seals while eliminating costly process interruptions.
A Tuf-Flex® sanitary gasket's contact surface is a layer of PTFE grafted to a FKM rubber inner core. This totally bonded construction provides an exceptionally pure and incredibly flexible seal. This new Tuf-Flex® with the FKM elastomeric core can handle temperatures up to 400º F and if there is a breach of the PTFE outer shell, the FKM will handle a wide range of chemicals that it comes in contact with. The FKM makes it more chemically resistant and a great choice for those chemical applications where an ordinary gasket won't do.
