Flexible Graphite Sheet Laminates are made with high purity 2010B grade flexible graphite reinforced with metallic or non-metallic inserts. There are two basic bonding types: adhesive bond and mechanically bond (metal tang clinched)
Characteristics and Specs
Heat and fire resistant
Chemical resistant, compatible with most chemicals
Compressible, conformable, low creep relaxation
Thermal conductive, electrical conductive
Reinforced structure to handle high pressure applications
Working Temperature Range:
Oxidizing Atmosphere, such as air: -400° F to 950° F (-240°C to 510°C)
Mild Oxidizing Atmosphere of most gasket applications: -400° F to 1500° F(-240°C to 850° C)
Non-Oxidizing Atmosphere: -400° F to 5400° F (-240°C to 3000° C)
Thermal Conductivity:
