It is not often that a new gasket design is introduced to the sealing world. Teadit®’s Origin™ RC 510 gasket is a new, and unique product, produced utilizing a new, revolutionary and patented technology – The Origin™ Process. This design was developed with the challenges of rail car service in mind, while utilizing Teadit®'s Tealon™ restructured, and filled, PTFE material. It is designed to incorporate all of the best features of gasket products and properties that make for an effective seal, while being both easy to use and easy to install.
Teadit®'s Origin™ process eliminates wasteful consumption of material by dramatically reducing scrap generated from traditional gasket cutting processes through winding Teadit® Tealon™ PTFE tape into a final ID/OD, thus decreasing its environmental footprint. During the manufacturing process almost 100% of the raw materials are used, which helps to make PTFE practical and affordable. Finally, Teadit®'s Origin™ RC510 provides outstanding sealing characteristics similar to an elastomeric design, except it provides the superior chemical resistance, reliability and durability of PTFE.
