Style KXT 730 Graphite Gasket reinforced with Metal Mesh

It is made from graphite as homogeneous, reinforced by metal mesh, foil or tanged metal. Laminated from compressed layers of purified natural graphite flake, and mechanically bonded with the stainless steel tangs, ensures the material retains dimensional stability in high temperatures.

In addition the material seals easily under moderate bolt loads offering torque retention through service and sealing tightly even during pressure fluctuations. Reinforced graphite gasket offers excellent sealing capabilities such as thermal stability, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, without being brittle and aging etc., under extreme conditionswith a longer life and less maintenance. It offers a high level of resistance to aggressive chemicals and its ability to withstand high pressures and extreme temperatures, up to 650°C in steam, makes it ideal for a wide range of applications.
