Reinforced PTFE Gasketing

Low creep, high strength material that outperforms other PTFE gasket materials
  • UCAR®-323

reinforced PTFE gasketing has a unique composite construction—woven continuous glass, not fused beads—which means there is nothing to shift, nothing to move, and nothing to change shape. It features a soft surface that is easy to handle combined with a hard, durable interior. 100% asbestos-free, easily cut from convenient, versatile 36" x 48" (914 mm x 1219 mm) sheets and is available in standard 1/32" (0.8 mm), 1/16" (1.6 mm) and 1/8" (3.0 mm) thickness. Its benefits include:

Creep Relaxation
UCAR-323® exhibits stability and creep relaxation of less than 3% in temperatures ranging from -350 °F to 475 °F (-212 °C to 245 °C). It maintains a higher bolt torque retention and a better seal in applications of thermal cycling and continued exposure to elevated temperatures.

Chemical Resistance
UCAR-323® has a wide range of chemical resistance including strong mineral acids and oxidizing chemicals. It is virtually inert to aggressive chemicals and is particularly suited for use with sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other strong oxidizing chemicals.


Electrical Isolation
UCAR-323® is excellent for use in electrical isolation of pipeline and equipment. Unlike flexible graphite, UCAR-323® is completely nonconductive
