Tuf-Flex
Introducing a technologically
advanced new gasket, TUF-FLEX, the revolutionary new gasket from Rubber Fab Technologies Group, is the world’s only unitized gasket, setting new standards for purity, performance and flexibility. Designed to meet critical requirements in pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, ultra-pure water, WFI (water-for-injection) and difficult food and beverage processing, TUF-FLEX outperforms other gaskets while eliminating costly process interruptions.

  

 
 
TYPE I
A Solid PTFE
Type I Gasket is guaranteed to fail in SIP conditions. They will creep, cold flow and leak at T.
TYPE III
ENVELOPE
The Envelope Gasket construction provides inconsistent results between the two materials. It will also creep, cold flow and leak over time.
TUF-FLEX
The PTFE grafted elastomer in a TUF-FLEX gasket will maintain I.D. without re-torquing or leaking.
