Overview
The Gore 0015H is a premium-grade joint sealant manufactured from 100% expanded PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), supplied as a 3/4″ wide × 15 feet long roll with adhesive backing. This PTFE joint sealant is rated for 15 ft length and 145 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial sealing applications. GORE joint sealant is standard sealing material for MRO teams because it seals reliably and is easy to install—simply peel off the adhesive backing, apply to the surface, and overlap the ends.
Key Features
- Soft, conformable cord that forms a thin yet strong seal when compressed
- Material composed of 100% expanded PTFE with excellent chemical and temperature resistance
- Operating temperature range of -450°F to +600°F (-267°C to +315°C)
- Adhesive-backed design requiring no additional sealant compounds or primer
- Suitable for large diameter steel flanges, rectangular shapes, rough surfaces, and applications with low bolt loads
