Characteristic & main applications

The flexible graphite sealing material with a high degree of inherent stability. It has high load bearing capacity combined with high seal ability. It is Ideally suited for use with steam and other critical applications

Material

Based on graphite and synthetic fibres. Manufactured using a process which provides the graphite gaskets with totally new, previously unachievable properties.
