GYLON EPIX® Gaskets & Sheets

Home 9 Products 9 Static Seals 9 GYLON EPIX®

The next level in PTFE gasketing

GYLON EPIX® is a newly developed family of PTFE gaskets. It is manufactured using a patented, profiled surface based on our proven GYLON® Standard, Blue and White, to create highly conformable materials for optimum sealing performance. The innovative GYLON EPIX® provides superior functional performance by combining the traditional attributes of GYLON® with an innovative surface design. It offers a broader range of applications than traditional PTFE gaskets. GYLON EPIX® delivers the sealing and load retention properties of 1/16” and the conformability of 1/8”. The hexagonal profi le provides improved compressibility and recovery. The profi led surface reduces the contact area during initial compression to concentrate the compressive force and to generate high-density-zones within the material, for improved sealability.

Designed for increased compressibility, GYLON EPIX® improves performance in misaligned fl anges. The consolidation of two thicknesses to one reduces the need to inventory multiple thicknesses. Doing so, GYLON EPIX® also reduces time and effort to upheld and re-work plant standards and piping class calculations. Garlock is dedicated to providing real sealing solutions that meet real world sealing needs. With an improved design, color-coded materials and a single thickness, GYLON EPIX® makes sealing easier.
