Sigma
Versatility personified.
Developed for processes ranging from cryogenic temperatures to 500ºF (260ºC), and suitable for sealing virtually every chemical medium across the entire pH range (0-14), Sigma pairs the outstanding chemical resistance of PTFE with enhanced dimensional stability. Sigma range materials contain non-stick properties that aid in an easy removal process after their usage to dramatically reduce the downtime on shutdown.
