Key Construction Characteristics

Durlon positions the 7950 as a cost-effective solution with a distinct formulation compared to reinforced graphite or modified PTFE. This distinction is critical to prevent selecting substitutions based strictly on temperature limits.

Key Criteria for Selecting a Replacement

Specify the original part number, process media, gasket thickness, and bolt torque. For severe thermal cycling, evaluate a material specifically engineered for those operating conditions.

To compare constructions: Durlon 7900 and Durlon 7925. A shared nitrile binder does not ensure equivalent chemical compatibility or identical torque retention.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

The 7950 blue belongs to the same product series as the 7900 off-white and 7925 light green. Any grade substitution must be based on part numbers and material specifications, not on colour alone.
