CEFIL'AIR® Bio-Guardian
|
- Preventing micro-organism development at clean room access areas
- Preventing contaminated air ingress to clean room conditions
CEFIL'AIR® inflatable seal technology, using Bio-Guardian material, provides the perfect solution to sealing frequently used clean room access points. The anti-microbial properties of Bio-Guardian prevent micro-organisms developing and the CEFIL'AIR® inflatable seal ensures uneven surfaces are sealed - keeping air ingress to zero.

GYLON BIO-PRO® gasket
|
- Prevent major causes of contamination at tri-clamp joints
- Avoid process ingredient accumulation
- Leakage prevention
- Eliminate seal material contamination
GYLON BIO-PRO® Gaskets are dimensionally stable and pre-stressed - controlled compression during manufacture ensures that the gasket will not intrude into the pipe boreline. The need to re-tighten clamps, which is normally required as a result of creep relaxation of the gasket material, is reduced using GYLON BIO-PRO® as it is compatible over a wide range of process temperatures from 5°C to 180°C.
The gaskets wide temperature compatibility and dimensional stability reduces the need for regular gasket changes when introducing different process chemicals. Holding a single gasket type in stock also eliminates the risk of introducing incompatible gasket materials to the process.
Compliant with the requirements of FDA and USP Class VI (toxicity), GYLON BIO-PRO® Gaskets are available to suit all sizes of tri-clamp fittings.

GYLON® gaskets for vessels
|
- Preventing micro-organism development and ingredient accumulation at vessel lid seals
- Eliminate seal material contamination
- Prevent major process leaks throughout the batch cycle
GYLON®: Modified PTFE with improved mechanical properties. An excellent cold flow resistance at high temperatures and in steam duty
GYLON® gaskets are ideal for lids or any closure requiring frequent removal. Unique properties ensure the gasket doesn't stick or lose its shape removing the risks of ingredient contamination, leakage and ensuring a longer gasket life. High dimensional stability prevents gasket extrusion and retraction ensuring a smooth lid to vessel interface with reduced risk of contamination traps.

GYLON® diaphragm seals for valves
|
- Prevent process contamination with non-clean, unhygienic valve components
- Preventing seal material contamination
- Preventing valve leaks, including pharmaceutical ingredients and maintenance fluids (nitrogen, sterilization vapor, cleaning products, etc.) Compliance with
- USP class VI
GYLON®: Modified PTFE with improved mechanical properties. An excellent cold flow resistance at high temperatures and in steam duty. Excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
