Inertex® “LTC” and “LTC-NR” Low Torque Composite Gaskets were designed to eliminate the problems most users of FRP, plastic, or similar flange piping materials experience every day. No other gasket design does all of this! These designs are the only pure PTFE gaskets designed for FRP flanges!
“LTC” design (standard)
Handles nearly 90% of all FRP, Plastic, and other Lightweight flanges. Used primarily in Pulp, Paper, and Chemical Plants.
“LTC-NR” design (non-rotational)
Prevents Flange Rotation! For extremely light, fragile, or sensitive piping materials. Also excellent for Food, Pharmaceutical, or Semiconductor applications.
