These numbers are a general guide and are subject to change at any time. Our team offers materials to meet any project. If you have special requirements for things like color, tensile, temperature, durometer, etc, please reach out to our team. Just because material listed doesn’t meet your spec does not meet it is not available.
Properties and application parameters shown throughout this datasheet are typical. Your specific application should not be undertaken without independent study and evaluation for suitability. For specific application recommendations consult Blaylock Gasket. Failure to select proper sealing products could result in property damage and/or serious personal injury.
TEALON TF 1580
Tealon TF 1580 is filled with barium sulfate and is suitable for strong caustic fluids. It meets FDA conformance for service within food and pharmaceutical applications. 1580 can be used in a wide range of applications due to its vast resistance to most chemical products. It is compatible with strong acids along with strong caustics, making it the most diverse material within the Tealon family. With the off-white color of 1580, this material is also suitable for processes where contamination is not tolerated. Tealon 1580 meets and has been approved by BAM for oxygen service.

TEALON TF 1590
Tealon TF1590 is filled with silica and meets a wide range of aplications. It is suitable for general service, strong acids and moderate caustic solutions. It meets FDA conformance for service within food and pharmaceutical applications. TF1590 has easily passed the Hot Compression Test with outstanding results.

TEALON TF 1572 SAN
For Drinking Water Service:
TEALON TF 1572 SAN is suitable for service with a wide variety of aggressive media, but is specifically formulated to allow compliance for drinking water system components with NSF-61, from source to tap. Certification to NSF-61 provides assurance to a highest level that TF 1572 SAN is safe for use in drinking water service. The high compressibility of this style makes it particularly suitable for use with stress sensitive and/or fragile flanged joints, e.g. glass, ceramics, plastic, etc.
An added benefit is that TF 1572 SAN has a strong dielectric rating, making it suitable for isolation kit applications.
TEALON TF 1572 SAN is a structured PTFE - Gasket - Sheet manufactured by a unique process which provides a high level of fibrillation to overcome the creep relaxation and cold flow problems associated with normal (skived or molded) PTFE sheets. This style is produced from virgin PTFE resin filled with hollow glass microspheres.
