Thermiculite® - Invincible against heat.
A breakthrough in both heat and chemical resistance, Thermiculite Critical Service materials are rated for temperatures up to 1800º F and have passed the API 607 fire test. Available in spiral wound and Flexpro™ (Kammprofile) facing styles, they provide safer, more cost-effective alternatives to industrial sealing problems where ultra-high heat resistance is critical; ex: oxidation of graphite in nuclear power exhaust systems. They are suitable for replacing aramid, glass, and carbon fiber; PTFE; and graphite gaskets in a number of industrial applications.Spiral Wound Gaskets - When temp and pressure swing.
To combat the effects of pressure and temperature fluctuations, flexibility and recovery are essential. The Flexitallic spiral wound gasket is the precision-engineered solution for flanged joints, heat exchangers, boiler handholes, manholes, and other high-temperature, high-pressure applications—providing resistance to virtually every known corrosive and toxic element.Flexpro™ (kammprofile) - A proven multitasker.
We named our Kammprofile gasket Flexpro because it offers the compressibility of a sheet gasket for low sealing stress, along with the bolt tightness of a spiral wound gasket—plus the handling ease of a solid metal gasket and its resistance to buckling. The Flexpro gasket fights against flange rotation, bolt stress relaxation, and creep—even under extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations.Sigma - Versatility personified.
Developed for processes ranging from cryogenic temperatures to 500ºF (260ºC), and suitable for sealing virtually every chemical medium across the entire pH range (0-14), Sigma pairs the outstanding chemical resistance of PTFE with enhanced dimensional stability. Sigma range materials contain non-stick properties that aid in an easy removal process after their usage to dramatically reduce the downtime on shutdown.Flange Rescue Gasket - A cost saving revolution.
Across the compliance spectrum, from health and safety, through environmental issues to incident avoidance, the FRG is a cost saving revolution. This corrosion management tool is both proactive in helping inspection and reactive in enabling repair. By reducing leaks and slowing corrosion the possibility of shut-downs with associated HSE visits are dramatically reduced, as is the huge loss of revenue associated with a stop in production.CPR Gasket - Corrosion. Prevention. Resistance.
Combining the technology of a Flexpro with the proven material technology of graphite and Sigma® to prevent further corrosion to existing flanges.Compressed Fiber Sheet - Made for your application.
The SF and AF products are fiber reinforced, polymer bound, calendared sheet materials made using traditional manufacturing techniques. A wide range of organic and inorganic fibers is used in conjunction with a polymer matrix to provide the appropriate degree of chemical compatibility and sealing performance.Flexible Graphite - Ready for a wide range of temps, pressures and chemicals.
Flexicarb is an exfoliated graphite material with standard grades at 95% to 98% and a nuclear grade available at 99.5%. Displaying excellent sealing characteristics, Flexicarb leverages Thermiculite’s unique heat resistance to withstand temperature extremes from cryogenics through elevated levels. It can be supplied with an inorganic passivating inhibitor to increase its oxidation and corrosion resistance. Recent experiences and tests have shown that Flexicarb will oxidize over time. Care should be taken when considering the use of Flexicarb foil for applications above 330°C (650°F).Metal Jacketed Gaskets - Protected performance.
Metal Jacketed Gaskets, as the name suggests, consist of a metallic outer shell with either metallic or non-metallic compressed fiber filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience, while the metal jacket protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures, and corrosion.Ring Type Joints (RTJ) - Ready for Tough Jobs.
Available in both oval and octagonal configurations (interchangeable on the modern grooved flange), ring type joints excel in high-pressure, high-temperature applications such as oil field drilling equipment. RTJs are also used on valves and pipework assemblies. Standard ring type joints are manufactured to meet both API 6A and ASME B16.20 sizes and ratings.Pump Packings - The choice for valves and pumps under pressure.
Flexitallic 305 is a soft, naturally lubricated braided packing made of exfoliated graphite. It offers excellentchemical resistance, suitable for use with a wide range of media—with the exception of strong oxidizers. Suitable for sealing high-pressure, high-temperature valves in the power and petrochemical industries.Static Seals - Pack with Thermiculite, Glass or Ceramic.
Static seals are available in three materials: Flexitallic 894: expanded vermiculite foil and Inconel wire designed for a wide range of critical services. Flexitallic GP1: high-density packing made from continuous filament ‘E’ glass yarns—designed for metal processing, boiler doors, furnace doors, and coal and wood burning stove door seals; and Flexitallic CFP1: a ceramic yarn reinforced with glass carrier ideal for high-temperature crucible lids and furnace door seals.Valve Stem Seals - Stem fugitive emissions.
Enviroflex 500 is a low-emission valve stem sealing system. Supplied as a five ring set, consisting of three molded graphite rings and two braided header rings specially formulated from high-performance carbon yarn. Enviroflex 500 has been developed for use in Linear and Rotary valves and has exceeded the most stringent requirements for fugitive emissions, resulting in less product loss and reduced emission penalties. Where PTFE is of concern as a potential source of corrosion, select Enviroflex 506.
