185 Joint Sealant

Expanded PTFE Form-In-Place Gasketing

Chesterton 185 Joint Sealant is 100% virgin PTFE with micro-fibrillated internal structure for excellent stability. Micro-fibrillated structure turns ordinary PTFE into a dimensionally strong, creep-resistant gasketing material. 185 provides a long lasting, high reliability seal with minimum re-torque requirements. 185 is soft and pliable to conform to worn or uneven surfaces. It is fast and easy to use. Lay out complex shapes fast with 185, eliminating waste from cut sheet. The self-adhesive strip holds the joint sealant in place for easy assembly in the shop or in the field.
