Gaskets - i-Logic™ Gasket Systems |
|
Sealed to
Perfection... and Not Beyond™ |
|
|
|
Developed for the
biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets, the i-logic™
gasket system is the only system that provides smooth-bore
sealed connections, is non-particulating, and is color-coded
and lot- numbered for rapid process identification. |

Engraved Lot Numbers
Another
unique feature available with i-logic™ gasket system
is the use of engraved lot numbers on the sides of
the gaskets for permanent traceability of raw
materials. The marked gaskets provide a
high-purity, high-integrity method of
identifications. Every i-logic™ gasket is packaged
with a certificate of compliance to indicate
biocompatibility and lot numbering.

Smooth-Bore
Sealing
Over-extruded gaskets restrict
the proper drainage of aseptic systems, lead to rapid
deterioration of exposed gasket materials, and obstruct the
flow of shear sensitive products.

Color-Coded and Lot-Numbered
Gaskets
Another key feature of the i-logic™ gasket system is
the use of color-coding and lot-numbering of the
gaskets for easy viewing through the slotted clamp
shown in the photograph to the left.

Non-Particulating Gasket
The i-logic™ gasket system virtually eliminates
product contamination from spallation (particulation from
rubber). As shown in the photo at right, over-extruded
gaskets generate spallation debris that can end up on
filtration media and lead to reduced efficiency and product
contamination.

Steam-Resistant Platinum Silicone
The i-logic™
gasket utilizes a high purity, platinum-catalyzed,
silicone elastomer. There are no peroxide
decomposition byproducts and no plasticizers used in
the formulations. In addition, the i-logic™ gasket
resists chemical reversion from high temperature
steam unlike competitive elastomers. FKM
elastomers degrade, leaving low molecular weight
residues that can be leached into the process stream
and can bond gaskets to flange faces (see photo at
left). |
