KLINGER® Graphite Laminate PSM
The pure graphite gasket material with a stainless steel tang insert
KLINGER® Graphite Laminate PSM has a 0.1 mm thick perforated stainless steel insert. The insert aids material handling properties and also increases the blow-out resistance. The insert is mechanically bonded to pure exfoliated graphite and therefore does not rely on adhesive.
Stable physical properties over the whole temperature range. KLINGER® Graphite Laminates PSM is suitable for hot water and steam at high temperatures up to 842°F (450°C).
In order to prevent the gasket material from sticking to the flange surface (even at high temperatures), the graphite surface can be given a non-stick coating at the customer's request. With this process, the gasket material's surface is coated and not impregnated.

In addition to KLINGER's complete Sheet Gasketing Product Line which now includes the new major change in construction of their PTFE Products TC 1003, TC 1005, and TC1006, they have added a great new product to cover additional applications during day-to-day operation.
The KLINGER SAVER
A new product we are featuring on our blog is THE KLINGER-SAVER - a tool to eliminate hand injuries.Bolt tightening or loosening activities, or using slug wrenches and hammers can often the cause of serious finger or hand injuries.
The KLINGER-SAVER is a safety device that allows an assembly technician to remove his hand from the potential danger of being struck by the hammer.

WaterSIL is a universal high-pressure gasket material that is certified to NSF 61 and meets strict chemical leaching requirements.
Specially formulated compressed gasket material based on NBR and aramid fiber, Thermoseal WaterSIL is a universal high-pressure gasket material that is certified to NSF 61 and meets strict chemical leaching requirements.
Applications: NSF/ANSI 61 certified gasket material for use in potable drinking water systems and fixtures for public drinking water, food and beverage, hospitality and plumbing supplies.
Benefits of Products Certified to NSP/ANSI 61 Drinking Water System Components
Potable water systems have miles of piping and other devices such as pumps, meters and valves. All of these components require gaskets. Gasket materials certified to NSF/ANSI 61 ensure the safe passing of water on its journey to the consumer's tap.
NSF/ANSI 61 establishes minimum health effect requirements for the chemical contaminants and impurities

Sealex® joint sealant, specially processed, 100% pure PTFE on a roll, provides soft, highly compressible gasketing for longer life and trouble-free sealing. Its form-in-place versatility also cuts maintenance and storage costs. The high compressibility of Sealex® enables it to effectively fill flange imperfections for a tight, leak-free seal. Under pressure, it provides a very wide, thin ribbon-like joint sealant. Unlike conventional PTFE which is prone to cold flow, Sealex® has good creep resistance and bolt torque retention properties.
Sealex® joint sealant does not support bacterial growth or cause product contamination and is FDA compliant. It has virtually no shelf-life concerns since PTFE is unaffected by normal environmental conditions.
It has excellent resistance properties to chemical attack. It is ideal for most chemical services at temperatures to 500°F (260°C) and pressure to 2,000 psi (138 bar). It is also suitable for cryogenic use to -321°F (-196°C).
