Asbestos Gasket is inexpensive, readily available and stable. It is fireproof and can withstand extreme heat making it the ideal thermal isolation material. As well, asbestos gaskets are non-corrosive, impervious to chemical reactions and non-conductive of electricity.
It is widely used in exhaust systems, turbo chargers and cylinder.
