High temperature gasketing excels in the harshest conditions—intense heat and high pressure. These high performance gasket materials have been laboratory tested for fire safety. They maintain an effective seal during pressure and temperature fluctuations, and their excellent torque retention lowers leakage rates and reduces maintenance time. The new Garlock THERMa-PUR® style gaskets provide extreme temperature protection using a unique formulation with Garlock’s traditional quality.
This blog post will examine the five types of high temp gasket material that GFS carries from Garlock and Thermoseal Klinger.
Garlock 9800 High Temp
Style 9800 gasket is a high temperature gasketing composed of carbon fibers with an SBR binder. This high performance material maintains its seal during pressure and temperature fluctuations, reducing leakage rates and maintenance time.
