THE TEFLON AND STAINLESS STEEL GASKET

The S.I.P.* Leak Proof Solution
There's a new standard in S.I.P. gasket stability and longevity. With a unique 50/50 blend of non-pigmented PTFE/316L passivated stainless steel and Teflon, TEF-STEEL is one tough gasket.

Tough Under S.I.P. Conditions
- Superior creep resistance
- Minimal thermal expansion
- Excellent chemical resistance
- No pigmentation
- Passivated to eliminate rouging
- Stops leaks when torqued correctly (50 in./lbs.**)
- No gasket extrusion into the sanitary tube I.D.
- No obstruction of flow
- Non-stick surfaces
- Excellent expansion and contraction stability
- Maintains sealing stability in r T processes
- I.D. Pharmaceutical finish

Meets High Pharmaceutical Standards
- U.S. Pharmacopoeia Class IV-XXII Certification
- Cytotoxicity Criteria
- Title 21 CFR 177.2600
- USDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards
- Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP)
- ASME-BPE Standards

TEF-STEEL, the next generation gasket
TEF-STEEL easily outperforms standard solid PTFE and PTFE envelope gaskets under even the most demanding S.I.P. pharmaceutical applications. In fact, TEF-TEEL lasts at least five times longer in most applications!

Prevents System Downtime
The unparalleled strength of TEF-STEEL eliminates maintenance needs and helps prevent system downtime by eliminating cold flow creep. This makes TEF-STEEL ideal for sanitary steam pipe connections in both extreme cold (down to -20°F) and hot conditions (up to 450°F). TEF-STEEL gaskets are available in a variety of sanitary standard sizes - from 1/2" to 12" diameter - to service virtually any S.I.P. application.

Plus, TEF-STEEL works with the Torque-Rite Perfect Surface Gasket System. This eliminates the potential for bacterial entrapment problems caused by over-tightening or under-tightening gaskets.
