SIGMA 588 is a high performance PTFE based sheet sealing material
with highly conformable surface layers of controlled porosity PTFE
and a strong core of biaxially orientated pure PTFE.
Sigma 588 is specifically designed for use in flanges where only low bolt loading is available. Such flanges can be glass lined, ceramic, plastic or be so distorted that they include areas of low gasket stress. Suitable for sealing all chemicals across the whole pH range (0-14) with the exception of molten alkali metals and fluorine gas. Consisting entirely of pure PTFE, this material is suitable for use with hydrogen fluoride.
