We're celebrating another anniversary this year: GYLON® – one of our many innovative sealing solutions – has been an industry favorite for 40 years! GYLON gaskets are an industry standard in aggressive, chemical-resistant gasketing. They’re uniquely processed from specialized materials that routinely outperform all conventional PTFE products by minimizing creep and cold flow problems.
