In 1998, Flexitallic set new standards for sealing technology with the introduction of Thermiculite® Critical Service Series gasket material, it is exclusive to Flexitallic, this revolutionary material, comprised of chemical and thermally exfoliated vermiculite, simulated structure of exfoliated graphite, with one notable exception – it maintains integrity through a wide range of high temperatures.
This innovative and versatile material is available in Coreless Sheet, a filler for SWG, and a facing for Kammprofile. It is suitable for replacing aramid fiber, glass fiber, carbon fiber, PTFE and Graphite, and in a wider array of applications.
Since its inception, Thermiculite® gasket material has proven itself as an effective long-term sealing solution in thousands of the most demanding industrial sealing applications, with the combination of Thermiculite® Critical Service (800 Series) and Thermiculite® Performance (700 Series), a single, proven material can be used for virtually all of your sealing requirements. That’s why we call Thermiculite® The Total Static Sealing Solution.
Total Freedom From Oxidation
Conventional graphite gaskets are susceptible to attack by oxidizing agents. This occurs from oxygen flowing within the media, or simply from oxygen present in the atmosphere surrounding the flange. The rate at which graphite oxidizes depends on the application temperature and the concentration of oxygen present. But when it does happen – the end result is seal failure. The unique composition of Thermiculite® gasket material ensures that seals maintain their integrity at maximum service temperature far exceeding that of graphite.
