Tuf-Steel easily outperforms standard solid PTFE and PTFE envelope seals under even the most demanding S.I.P. pharmaceutical applications. In fact, Tuf-Steel lasts at least five times longer in most applications!
Prevents System Downtime
The unparalleled strength of Tuf-Steel eliminates maintenance needs and helps prevent system downtime by eliminating cold flow creep. This makes Tuf-Steel ideal for sanitary steam pipe connections in both extreme cold (down to -100°F) and hot conditions (up to 500°F). Tuf-Steel hygienic seals are available in a variety of sanitary standard sizes from 1/2" to 12" diameter to service virtually any S.I.P. application. Plus, Tuf-Steel works with the Torque-Rite™ Perfect Surface Hygienic Seal System. This eliminates the potential for bacterial entrapment problems caused by over-tightening or under-tightening a hygienic seal.
TUF-STEEL®: The S.I.P. Leak Proof Solution
There’s a new standard in S.I.P. (steam in place) hygienic seal stability and longevity. With a unique 50/50 blend of non-pigmented PTFE and 316L water atomized and passivated stainless steel, Tuf-Steel is one tough gasket.
