GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500

The GORE® Gasket Tape Series 500 is the preferred sealant product option for steel piping and equipment. It features a design that encapsulates the latest advances in worry-free sealing performance, with an improved creep resistance that allows you to “set it and forget it”. It is the perfect sealing choice for large steel-flanged applications where operational reliability is paramount.

Its highly compressible form creates a very tight, long-lasting seal that fits any shape and is resistant to virtually any chemical process. The Series 500 Tape’s ability to create a quick seal easily allows it to stand out amongst traditional large gaskets. It provides you with the opportunity to create a truly custom seal during installation, instead of having to invest time into ordering pre-cut gaskets that take up storage space and don’t provide the reliability and quality you need to get the job done quickly and correctly.

Product Features:

  • 50% Greater Creep Resistance Than Other ePTFE Gasket Tapes
  • Outstanding Sealability
  • Form-in-Place Design
  • Quality that conforms to ISO 9001 Standard


Series 500 Gasket Tape is brought to you by a leader in ePTFE Technology. Our reputation is built on providing the knowledge, integrity, and results that you expect from a manufacturer that has decades of experience working with processing plants throughout the world.
