Mica Gasket material
Mica gasket material is
exceptional in it resistance to high heat. At temperatures over
900 F the ideal sealing material Grafoil or flexible graphite
cannot be used. Flexible graphite or Grafoil will coke at those
elevated temperatures when oxygen is present, where mica gasket
material will not (900 - 1850 F).
Mica gasket material is an excellent alternative in these high
temperature (to 1800 F) applications. Some of the basics on Mica
are shown below. As a gasket material Mica can be very effective
in sealing those high temp critical applications with out
failing due to the presence of oxygen.

Mica is a mineral, which offers a wide range of exceptional
properties. You may find that some of the
properties of mica could improve the different products in your range.
Mica which comes in the form of flaks is completely
harmless and presents very high thermal and mechanical performances,
allowing it to successfully replace asbestos gasket material in many applications.
American Seal & Packing offers a wide range of
gasket materials, each
corresponding to specific requirements and designed for a well-defined
application. American Seal & Packing can assist you in determining which
mica gasket material (or other material) corresponds
best to your application. |
