Heat and oxidation resistance
¦
Inorganic, asbestos-free fibers offer superior perfor-
mance in saturated and superheated steam
¦
Thermally stable fibers retain effective seal even dur-
ing thermal cycling to 750°F (400°C)
Long-lasting seal
¦
Unique manufacturing process minimizes cold flow
and creep relaxation problems
Versatile
¦
Ideal for standard ANSI flanged connectors, as well as
turbine crossover piping connectors
¦
Multiple applications in power generation, chemical
processing, hydrocarbon processing, and other indus-
tries
