Hygrade LS
Hygrade LS sheet gasketing is made of 100% expanded PTFE using a special process that produces a uniform and highly fibrillated multidirectional microstructure. This creates a soft and pliable, yet very tough gasket that has excellent resistance to compression, creep relaxation and cold flow. Suitable for un-even and damaged flanges.
