Flexible Graphite Gaskets
Graphite / Flexible Graphite is desirable for compression packing and gaskets, whose ability to seal comes from filling gaps through which fluid might flow.
Graphite / Flexible Graphite products produce these valuable properties:
- Flexible Graphite is free from creep under constant load
- Flexible Graphite is stable from cryogenic temperatures far below zero to temperatures well above the melting point of most ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Flexible Graphite resists a wide range of corrosive materials
- Flexible Graphite protects sealing surfaces with quick dispersion of heat to eliminate hot spots that can damage metal surfaces
- Flexible Graphite is nuclear radiation resistant even when exposed to massive doses of radiation
- Flexible Graphite has been proven fire-safe in the presence of highly volatile fluids and extremely high temperatures
- Flexible Graphite is resilient and assures that a leak-proof seal can be achieved when pitted, rough, gouged or out of flat surfaces are used
- Flexible Graphite is available in pure laminate or reinforced
- Flexible Graphite will not stick or bond resulting in easy removal and clean-up
