Material Notes:
GRAFOIL® Grade UCAR®-323 is a laminated gasket material consisting of multiple plies of woven fiberglass coated with PTFE. It will not support combustion or bacteria. Its applications include: electrical isolation of pipelines and equipment; and use with sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and other strong oxidizing chemicals. Surface identifiable, UCAR®-323 is branded with the GRAFOIL® grade and source guarantee. The advantages of UCAR®-323 are: more than 5 times the tensile strength of the market leader PTFE; extremely tolerant to process changes (temperature & pressure); design and material give up 14 times the sealability rate; 70% less creep; absorption rate of less than 0.1%; and maintains a higher bolt torque retention and a better seal in applications of thermal cycling.
