Fibralon is designed for a wide range of demanding industrial requirements including gasket and bearing applications. Fibralon is filled PTFE, uniquely combining the properties of Teflon® and Kevlar®. Kevlar enhances the physical properties of the PTFE and results in superior gasket material. Fibralon shows less cold flow and greater sealing ability than other filled fluorocarbons. It still maintains the chemical attack resistance and temperature range.

Fibralon 4820 also has superb electrical insulation properties. The toughest member of the product family, Fibralon 4840, makes an excellent bearing material. It wears 10 to 20 times longer than bronze filled PTFE.

Note: These products are FDA compliant.
