Tuf-Flex® Unitized Envelope Gaskets
Product Description
Tuf-Flex®, the revolutionary sanitary gasket from RubberFab, a revolutionary unitized gasket setting new standards for purity, performance and flexibility. Designed to meet critical requirements in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, ultra-pure water, and WFI (water-for-injection) applications. And because Tuf-Flex will not impart taste or odor with flavor change, it provides the ultimate gasket performance for food and beverage processing, Tuf-Flex outperforms other sanitary hygienic seals and increases uptime by helping eliminate costly process interruptions.
A Tuf-Flex sanitary gasket’s contact surface is a layer of PTFE unitized to an EPDM rubber inner core. This totally bonded construction provides an exceptionally pure and incredibly flexible seal.
By unitizing the elastomer with a layer of PTFE, Tuf-Flex will perform like an elastomer with the chemically inert characteristics of a PTFE sanitary gasket.
