Graphite Gasket Sheet
Graphite sheet is made from naturally occurring graphite flakes, after processing the graphite from its mined ore state to purify and expand it, the flakes are calendared into pure graphite sheets with no binders or fillers. With the lack of binders and fillers there is no significant volume loss in gaskets being used at high temperatures and the gaskets will not harden like compressed fibre gaskets containing elastomer binders.
Graphite’s outstanding thermal stability, excellent compressibility and a superior chemical resistance makes it one of the best gasket materials in the sealing industry today, with the only down side being graphite’s less handleability. Due to graphite sheet being a lot more fragile than other gasket materials they must be handled and installed with care.
Features & Benefits
- Low permeability to gases and liquids
- Flexible, soft texture
- Resistant to most mediums
- Asbestos free & No health hazard
- Environmentally compatible
- Suitable to use at temperature ranges from 250°C to 3000°C
- No binders, will not age or harden
- Has long term compressibility and recovery stability
- No cold or warm flow
- Excellent resistance to thermal shock
