Introduction Diflex
DIFLEX is resistant to almost all chemicals, pH 0÷14, acid and strong alkali, solvents, chlorine, catalyzers, liquid gas, vapour, diathermal oils, food, pharmaceutical and petrochemical products, etc.; the only exceptions are melt alkali metals and fluorinated products. See Comparative Table. DIFLEX is recommended for use in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, cryogenic industries, etc.
- DIFLEX is resistant to high levels of compression, maintaining its nelasticity.
- DIFLEX does not absorb moisture.
- DIFLEX does not stick both at high and low temperatures.
- DIFLEX is weatherproof and does not age even in a marine environment.
- DIFLEX is completely acid proof.
- DIFLEX is nontoxical.
Diflex ® gaskets in operation
DIFLEX gaskets were adopted for the first time in 1993 by large complexes and since then they have been included among the specifications drawn up by major engineering companies. Field experience shows that DIFLEX gaskets can be used for continuous service at a temperature range of -150°C to +260°C and also under high pressure. See Diagrams 3 and 5.
Diflex ®: special versions
- Diflex gaskets are also available in welded versions, even for diameters exceeding 3 m, or according to the customer’s specifications
- Packaging: packaging poses no problems as the gasket can be folded without the risk of breaking it.
- Directly available from the warehouse in the standard dimensions
