3R8000
Tealon
The 3R8000 is produced from virgin PTFE resin filled with hollow glass micro spheres. This unique process of fabrication provides the Tealon® a high level of fibrillation to overcome the creep relaxation and cold flow problems associated with mechanical grade (3R810) and virgin grade (3R812) PTFE sheets.

Applications
It is suitable for services with a wide variety of aggressive fluids, including hydrocarbons, acids and caustics, solvents, water, steam, hydrogen-peroxide and refrigerants. The high compressibility of 3R8000 makes it particularly suitable for use with stress sensitive and/or fragile flanged joints.
