A food-grade seal (usually made of EPDM, silicone, or PTFE) is placed between the two ferrule faces to create a tight, hygienic seal.
PTFE: Is a highly chemically resistant and non-contaminating gasket used in hygienic piping systems where traditional elastomer gaskets would fail due to aggressive media or high temperatures.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Offers good temperature ratings and excellent memory, suitable for a wide range of general-purpose hygienic applications.
FKM (Fluoroelastomer/Viton): Provides a higher temperature range and superior resistance to oils and fuels, ideal for more demanding chemical processing or hot oil systems.
A Tri-Clamp envelope seal is a composite gasket that combines the chemical resistance of a PTFE (Teflon) exterior "envelope" with a more flexible, elastomeric inner core like EPDM or FKM (Viton). This design provides superior chemical inertness in the product contact area while maintaining the elasticity and sealing memory required for a reliable, leak-proof Tri-Clamp connection.
