Always compliant. Always leak-free. The Leader Clipperlon 2115 gasket is made from natural white solid Modified PTFE. This is more rigid than expanded PTFE, making it easier to spot extra resistance during tightening, if the gasket has caught on a flange.

In addition, the material is exceptionally compressible, with a low minimum seating stress value. This makes it ideal for low torque applications like pipework. It also offers high chemical resistance across a wide range of temperatures, so it’s durable and reliable in a variety of operating environments.

Specially designed for high-purity applications, Clipperlon 2115 is totally free from pigments or any other additives which would fail to comply with USP-VI restrictions. By replacing existing pipework gaskets with Clipperlon 2115, you’ll have leak-free, fully-compliant seals which are easy to install.

Getting it tape – one size fits all

Supplied on a 10m roll and available in widths from 10-65mm, and a choice of thicknesses from 2-9mm, Clipperlon 660 is a tape which is not only flexible and compressible, but also highly conformable.

Whether it needs to fill nicks or accommodate burrs on the flange, this tape adapts to the roughness and unevenness to provide a leak-free seal. It can also be easily manipulated around the flange, inside and outside bolt holes, and can even be used double-thickness if required to maintain the seal.

Like Clipperlon 2115, Clipperlon 660 has outstanding chemical resistance across a wide range of temperatures, high compressibility characteristics, and a low minimum seating stress – making it ideal for torque applications.
