The recently developed and patented 4s flange gasket system is composed of the "S" type EPDM gasket as the bottom gasket and the black nitrile gasket as the upper gasket. These two components are actually complementary, so the gasket system can As a general-purpose flange gasket, it combines the excellent chemical resistance of the above-mentioned off-white "S" type EPDM with the excellent physical properties of black nitrile. For drums that need to meet the strict physical performance requirements of the United Nations, the Tri-Sure 4s flange gasket system is recommended.


1.4 Polyethylene barrel plug gasket


If the standard gaskets mentioned in 1.1 and 1.2 are not compatible with the product to be packaged, polyethylene gaskets must be used. It should be remembered that due to the nature of the material (thermoplasticity), these gaskets are susceptible to cold flow and stress cracking, So it is not suitable as a sealing material.
