Garlock PTFE membranes: excellent waterproofing and increased flexibility

GYLON® style 3522 PTFE membranes from Garlock are positioned as one of the most popular sealing solutions in our portfolio for sensitive industries. These Garlock membranes are crowned as one of the top selling products among our customers in sectors such as pharmaceutical or food. This industrial solutions company, with whom we have been working closely for years, is once again taking the market by storm with an efficient and safe proposal. Let's take a closer look at the excellent properties that characterize these PTFE membranes.

GYLON® style 3522 membrane ensures superior waterproofing

As can be seen in the graph below, the cavity content in this membrane is very low. This low presence of GYLON® 3522, compared to conventional PTFE and modified PTFE, results in a lower permeability of the material. As a result, substances and elements can hardly penetrate the membrane at the molecular level. All of the above translates into a very valuable property for machinery manufacturers in sensitive industries: a potential reduction of fluid cross-contamination during the production process.

GYLON® Style 3522 PTFE membrane Style 3522 is characterized by its flexibility

The excellent flexibility of these Garlock membranes make it a very durable solution. Thanks to its higher resistance to bending fatigue, replacement intervals are longer. This has a positive impact on various aspects of the production process:

• - Long service life of the membranes.
• - Reduced labor costs for parts replacement and/or maintenance.
• - Plant operators enjoy greater operational reliability.

There is no doubt that GYLON® Style 3522 PTFE membranes are a very wise choice to increase the efficiency of a production plant and protect its equipment. Our team of technical experts in sealing will be able to provide you with the following information more details in this regard.
