Graphite Ferrules 100%

Our graphite ferrules fit “Swagelok” or “Parker” fittings. Graphite ferrules are soft and compliant. They will not stick to glass at higher temperatures. These GC ferrules are ideal for glass to metal connections. The graphite ferrule can be reused if not over tightened.

PTFE Ferrules 100%

The PTFE ferrules are a one piece design and require no back ferrule. These ferrules are completely inert.

Polyimide/Graphite Ferrules

60% Polyimide / 40% Graphite Ferrules

Polyimide Ferrules 100%

Improved mixing techniques for polyimide ferrules allow for better homogenous mixing of graphite and polyimide resin. One can observe this when looking at a polyimide ferrule. The surfaces are very smooth and exhibit a highly polished or highly shined surface.
