Properties and Characteristics

Non-metallic flat flange gaskets are the most typical static gaskets. They are used in large number by various industries and in a variety of applications, especially when low and medium sealing conditions are applied. Non-metallic gaskets are made of compressed fibre sheets, graphite, PTFE, mica or rubber sealing materials. Flat flange gaskets are produced in several different sizes according to standard or customer design.

Special type of non-metallic flat flange gaskets is metal eyeleted gaskets, which provide special protection against blowout for the sealing of critical or aggressive media. The core of the gasket is usually made of CSF (compressed synthetic fibre) or expanded graphite material, while the U-shaped eyelet is made from different metals.
