STRESS SAVER®
Benefits
Tighter seal
¦ Raised, molded-in sealing rings seal with 75% less
surface area for high performance in
non-metallic flanges†
STRESS SAVER® Style 370
Chemical resistance
¦ Pure PTFE sealing surface resists many chemicals
High purity
¦ Contaminant-free EPDM is ideal for pure
service—electronics,* pharmaceutical and
food industries**
¦ Proprietary process bonds PTFE to
elastomer, won't delaminate or leach
¦ Special packaging for high-purity applications
STRESS SAVER®
Style 6800
Economical
¦ More economical gasket where a PTFE envelope is
not required.
† Flat face flanges strongly recommended.
* Tested by BALASZ Labs for trace metal extractables, Anions, Cations
and T.O.C.s. Results available on request.
** Consult Garlock Applications Engineering for FDA information.

STRESS SAVER® XP
Tighter seal
¦ Lower seating stress than expanded or specialty PTFE
gaskets; ideal for nonmetallic flanges
Chemical resistance
¦ High-performance fluoroelastomer has greater resis-
tance to severe chemicals than standard fluoroelasto-
mers
Outperforms PTFE envelope gaskets
¦ Won't fail due to filler attack
¦ Eliminates envelope foldover during installation
