XT-7800 (Armalon) is produced by impregnating a needled PTFE fiber felt base with PTFE resin and has been used in gasket and wiper applications for over 40 years. The result is a soft material which conforms to uneven flanges, providing durable seals with
minimum flange pressures. Because it is made with PTFE, it releases easily from flanges when disassembly is necessary, and can often be reused instead of being replaced. XT-7800 resists attack by such chemicals as red fuming HNO3 , H2SO4, HF, HCI, aqua regia, NaOH, and anhydrous NH3. Other physical properties of XT-7800 are listed in the chart below.
With Tensile in the 2000 psi range and Burst in the 8000 psi range, XT-7800 is very strong but soft enough to seal with lower pressures and on
uneven flange surfaces, yet still compresses over 30% with a recovery rate over 20%, making it well suited for many type of flange applications. Additionally, in some cases XT-7800 was able to be reused after many years due to its overall high strength, recovery, and resiliency properties. When removed, it recovers about 25% and can be compressed again.
Stock XT-7800 for all your gasketing applications and eliminate the need to maintain expensive inventories of other materials. Sheets of Armalon can easily be cut to desired configuration and are available in either sheets or cut gaskets through our distribution / converting partner, Gasko Fabricated Products.
