Abstract: Tough heat- and corrosion-resistant films of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are baked onto the surfaces of sheet-type gaskets in a curtain coating process. The gasket to be coated is passed through a flow of liquid PTFE-resin containing composition, the gasket inverted end-for-end, the opposite side coated, then baked, to form a tough film.
Abstract: An improved gasket where the openings in the gasket which fit around the cylinder bores is provided with a grommet which is generally U-shaped in cross-section, having spaced ends at least one of which is bent inwardly to engage the bore wall of the grommet to securely hold the grommet in place in the gasket opening.
