Graphite Gaskets Manufacturers’s Flexible graphite gaskets have outstanding resistance to corrosion against a wide variety of acids, alkalies and salt solutions, organic compounds, and heat transfer fluids, even in high temperature applications. Gaskets cut from flexible graphite sheet are an excellent choice for severe service applications in general industrial, petrochemical, pulp and paper, mining, and chemical applications.

Flexible graphite sheet is manufactured from mineral graphite (expandable flake graphite) and contains a carbon content of between 95 percent and 99 percent. The amount of carbon present in the sheet is a key determinant of its flexibility: the higher the percentage of carbon present, the more flexible the sheet.

As noted above, flexible graphite gaskets possess excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, high temperatures and high pressures. These properties make flexible graphite gaskets an ideal choice for severe service applications. In addition, Gland Packing Manufacturer’s flexible graphite gaskets provide good resistance to abrasive media, while also offering excellent thermal conductivity and material conformability which results in a superior seal.
