Gasket Sheets by Material Non-asbestos fibers
Non-asbestos fiber gasket sheets are designed as alternatives to traditional asbestos-based gaskets, providing similar sealing performance without the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. These gasket sheets are composed of various non-asbestos fibers such as aramid, fiberglass, carbon, or mineral fibers, bonded together with elastomers or resins to form a durable and resilient material.
Here are some key features and benefits of gasket sheets made from non-asbestos fibers:
Safety: Non-asbestos fiber gaskets eliminate the health hazards associated with asbestos exposure, ensuring a safer working environment for personnel.
Sealing Performance: These gasket sheets offer excellent sealing performance across a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and media, making them suitable for various industrial applications.
Chemical Resistance: Depending on the specific fiber composition and binder used, non-asbestos gaskets can exhibit resistance to oils, fuels, chemicals, and other fluids encountered in industrial environments.
Temperature Resistance: They can withstand high temperatures without degradation, making them suitable for use in applications where elevated temperatures are present.
Flexibility: Non-asbestos fiber gasket sheets are often flexible and conformable, allowing them to seal irregular or uneven surfaces effectively.
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to some other sealing materials, non-asbestos fiber gasket sheets can offer a cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance.
Environmental Compliance: Asbestos-free gaskets meet regulatory requirements and environmental standards, contributing to sustainable and responsible manufacturing practices.
Common applications for non-asbestos fiber gasket sheets include sealing flange connections, valves, pumps, heat exchangers, and other equipment in industries such as automotive, chemical processing, power generation, and petrochemicals. The choice of fiber type, binder, and sheet thickness can be customized based on specific operating conditions and application requirements.
