The readers of Industrial Maintenance & Plant Operation (IMPO) magazine have selected Garlock Sealing Technologies' Flange FreeTM anti-stick gasket coating for the publication's first annual "Top 15 IMPOvation" awards. Featured in the September issue, winners of the award were chosen from a field of 100 nominees. Flange Free™ placed 10th in the overall voting.
Flange Free™ dramatically reduces the time and effort required to remove gaskets from flanges. Gaskets treated with Flange Free reduce the potential for residual particles left behind on the flange surface that adversely affect the performance of replacement gaskets or could break loose, contaminating piping systems and downstream equipment operation.
IMPO's coverage of the awards cited a maintenance engineer with a major chemical processor who said of Flange Free, "My guys hate scraping gaskets. A little piece of something always gets stuck on the surface under the new gasket. This new technology allows us to save manpower and create a stronger seal."
