Flexible graphite is commonly used as gasket and packing material because of its heat management and fluid sealing properties, but it usage extends outside of the domain of industry. Currently researchers are finding a number of abstract uses for flexible graphite, not only due to its heat management and fluid sealing properties, but also its electrical conductivity, anti-corrosive properties, and resistance to aging.
The list of flexible graphite research encompasses a range of topics which include:
Sheet materials are sold in a wide variety of material types and thicknesses, with the best choice for any given application being entirely dependent on the nature of the task the gasket will be performing. In this blog post, we’ll look at some of the different types of gasket sheet types and provide a high level overview of the best applicable uses.
All materials offered for fabricated gaskets can be purchased as whole or partial sheets from Gallagher Fluid Seals. All gasket sheet materials are in stock, and can be shipped within 24 hours.
