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.
