APSOseal® Flat Gaskets

About this product

Overview brochure with material descriptions

In all areas of industry, sealing issues arise wherever substances and process fluids are handled, transported or stored. In the chemical industry, in refineries, in the energy production and conversion sector and in the food-and-beverage industry, in- conspicuous or even invisible flat gaskets often have key importance. Since gaskets in their various areas of deployment are subjected to a wide range of different strains and stresses, numerous different materials with properties that deviate wide- ly from each other are used to manufacture them. Among the most important deployment parameters are resistance to aggressive media, resistance to high or low temperatures, and resistance to high pressure loads. But the installation circum- stances, the sealing strength required by the customer and a good price/per- formance relation are also key determinants for the choice of materials. By selecting the right sealing material from the start, subsequent gasket damage and attendant breakdown and repair costs can be avoided.
