Flexible Graphite Gasket – High Quality Sealing Material

Flexible graphite gasket is also called expanded graphite gasket. It consists of a pure exfoliated flake material and contains no binder or filler.

In addition, 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. Flexible graphite gasket contains a carbon content of between 95 percent and 99.9 percent. What's more, it has good corrosion, high/low temperature and high pressure resistance performance. All these make it a critical sealing solution for some applications. Such as pipes, valves and pumps.
