What are Grafoil Filled Gaskets?
Grafoil filled gaskets are a special type of gaskets that are ideal for sealing machines used in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Made from Grafoil, a low-temperature-resistant material, these gaskets provide superior temperature performance, high tear strength and excellent chemical resistance. Some of the features and advantages that make Grafoil filled gaskets so useful include superior performance, durability, and a variety of sizes, designs, and shapes to fit any application.
What is Grafoil?
Grafoil is a graphite-like material often manufactured from a metallic base of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). It is a compressed, bonded form of pure graphite, but with its own unique properties. This combination of properties makes Grafoil a valuable material throughout many industries. It has low temperature resistance to -175°F, superior protection against erosion, high tear strength and excellent chemical resistance in comparison to other sealing materials.
Uses and Benefits
Grafoil filled gaskets are often used in demanding applications such as automotive and aerospace, chemical and power plant operations, cryogenics, and various other industrial applications. Due to the unique properties of Grafoil, these gaskets provide superior performance with temperatures as low as -175°F, a pressure range of up to 10,000 psi, and superior durability without embrittlement, oxidation, or degradation. Their chemical resistance and tolerance of extreme temperatures makes them ideal for sealing efficient and dependable operations. Grafoil filled gaskets can also handle volatile media, which are aggressive liquids and gases, making them ideal for chemical processing applications.
Sizes and Configurations
Grafoil filled gaskets come in a variety of sizes, configurations, and thicknesses to meet the exacting requirements of different applications. They can come as flat or oval ring gaskets, as grooved, serrated, and/or filled gaskets, and can be customized in any number of sizes and shapes. This makes Grafoil filled gaskets the perfect fit for many difficult application scenarios. In addition, they can be adapted to fit any flange, coupling, or port design or size.
Conclusion
Grafoil filled gaskets are an ideal option for sealing machines used in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Their superior performance, durability, and variety of sizes, designs, and shapes make Grafoil filled gaskets a highly sought after commodity. Their extreme temperature performance, high tear strength, and excellent chemical resistance make them ideal for sealing efficient and dependable operations. For these reasons, Grafoil filled gaskets are often the go-to choice for many industrial and commercial applications with challenging requirements.
