over PTFE or F217, if given the choice? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We have been using buna-n durometer gaskets for our Le Parfait and other gasketed jars for some time now. We order from Manufactured Rubber Products in Philadelphia (not sure if this is the same company you referenced)
but must admit that we have not ordered in some time (we still have a large supply of various sizes). We use these to replace the regular red rubber gaskets that do not hold up under alcohol conditions. They function great even though we are slowly but surely
moving away from gasketed jars to jars purchased from O’Berk - <a href="https://www.oberk.com/containers/glass/glass-jar">
https://www.oberk.com/containers/glass/glass-jar</a>. We order 8oz, 16oz, 32oz, 64oz, half gallon and gallon jars with polypropylene/polyethylene lids as attached.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
