GYLON BIO-LOK™ Gasket Solves Typical Tri-Clamp Problems

Companies in the pharmaceutical, food, dairy, cosmetic, and other hygienic industries typically use Tri-Clamp gaskets to join pipework, valves, vessels, pumps, and other connections. Just as typically, they experience issues with these gaskets, such as intrusion, leaking, and outright failure. Now, however, that has all changed. The solution is Garlock's newest gylon engineered PTFE gasket - an innovative breakthrough product known as gylon bio-pro in Europe and gylon bio-lok in the Americas. These gaskets deliver superior dimensional stability, recovery, and temperature and media resistance. Designed to overcome the complications of conventional elastomer hygienic Tri-Clamp gaskets, gylon bio-pro/gylon bio-lok gaskets: * prevent intrusion into sanitary pipe fittings, so there are no issues of flow restriction or cross-contamination; * withstand thermal cycling and vibration that loosen clamps. This eliminates the risk of leaks and additional gasket intrusion during the retightening process; * withstand higher temperatures during steam sterilization; * are suitable for use with aggressive cleaning agents; * address costly stocking issues by providing one gasket for multiple process applications; and * provide easy installation and removal, without sticking to ferrules.
