The expanded graphite sheets can be smooth or reinforced with stainless steel grating reinforcement. They are suitable for cutting flat gaskets operating in harsh operating conditions and at high temperatures. Due to the high conformability of this material, it can also be used in the presence of light, deformed, poorly aligned or large flanges, without the need for high thicknesses.
Applications:
- Blanking of flat gaskets
- Coupling with insert for the creation of reinforced gaskets
- Sealing element for semi
-metallic gaskets
