Euroseal® 212 TFE Flat Gasket in Reinforced Graphite and PTFE

The Euroseal® 212 TFE flat gasket in graphite and PTFE is designed to ensure high compressibility, universal chemical resistance, and long service life in the most critical industrial applications.
The combination of low-sulphur Euroseal® mineral graphite and PTFE coating guarantees reliable sealing even under extreme conditions, preventing flange adhesion and enabling easy removal during maintenance.

Technical Composition and Construction Materials of the Graphite and PTFE Flat Gasket

This gasket consists of:

  • AISI 316L tanged insert: provides rigidity and elastic recovery.
  • Two layers of low-sulphur Euroseal® graphite: ensure adaptability and excellent sealing.
  • External PTFE coating: offers universal chemical resistance (pH 0–14) and allows removal without damaging sealing surfaces.
  • Internal rim to prevent fluid passage through the gasket – standard dimensions feature no weld points.
  • External rim to increase gasket rigidity and aid centering.

Features and Performance

  • High compressibility and optimal elastic recovery.
  • Universal chemical resistance (pH 0–14).
  • Easy removal without flange adhesion thanks to the PTFE coating.

Operating Parameters

  • Temperature: from -240°C to +300°C
  • Pressure: up to 100 bar

Theoretical values to be evaluated according to the PxT graph.

Fire Safe Certification and International Compliance

The Euroseal® 212 TFE is Fire Safe certified according to:

  • ISO 10497
  • BS 6755
  • Exxon VDI2440-2200

These certifications ensure safety even in high-risk environments and applications subject to stringent regulations.

Technical FAQ

What is the Euroseal® 212 TFE gasket and what is it used for?

Euroseal® 212 TFE is a flat gasket made of low-sulfur expanded graphite, reinforced with AISI 316L stainless steel and coated with PTFE. It is designed to ensure high sealing performance with chemically aggressive media, elevated temperatures, and pressures up to 100 bar.

What are the benefits of a graphite gasket with PTFE coating?

  • High compressibility for reliable sealing on irregular surfaces
  • Excellent chemical resistance (pH 0–14)
  • Easy removal from flanges—no sticking or surface damage

What temperature and pressure can 212 TFE handle?

  • Operating temperature: −240 °C to +300 °C
  • Maximum pressure: 100 bar

Which certifications does Euroseal® 212 TFE have?

Fire Safe certified according to ISO 10497 and BS 6755, and compliant with fugitive emissions standards (VDI 2440 – Exxon) to ensure safety in critical plant services.

Is there a version that fits different flange standards?

Yes. The DUAL version is compatible with ASA 150/300 and UNI PN 16/40 flanges. It reduces warehouse stock by up to 50% and helps prevent installation errors thanks to its universal design.

Which industries use the 212 TFE gasket?

Ideal for chemical and petrochemical plants, refineries, thermoelectric power stations, and any process lines requiring high reliability and chemical resistance.

Can the gasket damage sealing surfaces?

No. The PTFE coating prevents graphite from adhering to the phonographic finish of flanges, enabling clean removal without damaging the seating surfaces.
