Graphite Sheet Gaskets Grafilit SL

MATERIAL

Gasket material with excellent creep, strength, chemical stability and high tightness. Graphite itself or laminated with flat / tanged stainless steel insertion is used as a temperature and chemical resistant gasket in chemical, petrochemical and many other industries.

ROPERTIES AND APPLICATION

GRAFILIT® SL is a gasket material with excellent strength and creep resistance, chemical stability and a high tightness rate. Because of a stainless-steel insertion it is easier for handling and installation compared to the non-reinforced. GRAFILIT® SL is suitable for wide range of applications especially for higher operating pressures like in gas supply.

BASIS

Flexible graphite sheets laminated with flat stainless-steel insertion (AISI 316; 0.05mm)
