Garlock Gasket Material

Gasket and Seal Fabricators is a trusted supplier and custom fabricator of Garlock gasket materials, one of the industry’s most recognized names in high-performance fluid sealing. A flagship brand of Garlock Sealing Technologies (part of Enpro), Garlock products have been the preferred choice of OEMs and industrial maintenance teams worldwide for more than 135 years.

We stock Garlock materials across their full product line (including GYLON® restructured PTFE, BLUE-GARD® compressed fiber, GRAPH-LOCK® flexible graphite, THERMa-PUR® extreme-temperature gasketing, and high-performance rubber sheet products) and fabricate custom gaskets to your exact specifications for chemical processing, power generation, heavy manufacturing, and industrial valves. Whether you need a few sheets, full rolls, or precision-cut parts, every gasket we deliver is manufactured to meet applicable ASME, API, and industry standards, where required.

GYLON® is a restructured PTFE gasket material: Garlock reorients the PTFE and fillers through a proprietary process that improves tensile properties and reduces the creep relaxation that normally plagues PTFE products. In practical terms, that means a gasket that seals tighter and holds bolt load far longer than conventional PTFE, with excellent chemical resistance across a wide range of industrial applications. It also delivers consistent results part to part, because the process creates a homogeneous material with uniform properties across the sheet, unlike skived PTFE that can vary from one side to the other.

Designed for severe chemical service, GYLON® gaskets are color-coded for easy identification and provide excellent sealability that reduces product loss and fugitive emissions. And because Garlock’s patented thermal bonding process can fabricate gaskets of nearly any size, large-diameter and custom shapes are no obstacle (one reason GYLON is treated as the benchmark for demanding sealing.)
