Construction
Style 24BB joint sealant is produced by expanding
100% virgin PTFE into a highly fibrillated structure
which is softer and more flexible than regular PTFE and
thus conforms easily to irregular and rough surfaces. In
addition, the expanded material is easier to compress
and exhibits excellent resistance to creep and cold flow.
Teadit 24BB gasket tape is supplied as a continuous
tape with a self-adhesive backing strip to facilitate easy
installation.
Application / Service
Style 24BB easily seals flanges wtih rough or irregular
surfaces and requires less bolt torque than other gasket
materials. It is particularly suited for sealing glass lined
and plastic flanges. Made from 100% virgin PTFE, this
style can be used to seal all aggressive chemicals over
the entire 0 to 14 pH range, except for molten alkali
metals and elemental fluorine. It will not contaminate or
discolor flow media and it is suitable for FDA service.
It has no smell or taste. It is neither contaminating nor
toxic and it fulfills the FSA 21 SFR 177.1550 Perfluorocarbon
Regulations.
