What is non asbestos gaskets?

What is non asbestos gaskets?

Non-asbestos gasket sheets are made using organic fibers, aramid fibers, NBR and mineral fibers. These can be used for application where water or oil resistance is required. Generally, non-asbestos gasket sheets are used in low-pressure apparatus, transformers, and compressors.

What is the meaning of CNAF gasket?

Compressed non-Asbestos Fibre Materials
Compressed non-Asbestos Fibre Materials (CNAF) Gasket Materials: Uses and Applications. In its entirety, Compressed Non-Asbestos Fibre materials are exactly that, a gasket type that doesn’t rely on an asbestos base.

What is asbestos gasket sheet?

Compressed asbestos gasket is a compressed mixture of long fiber asbestos, synthetic rubber and other modifying materials. According to different formulations, processes and usages, it can be divided into standard and oil-resistant (G2184). Asbestos gasket is die cut or circle cut from paronite or jointing sheets.

What is PTFE gasket material?

Gasket & O-Ring Products Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. PTFE can be modified for use as a gasketing material with strong chemical resistance properties. It can also be machined or molded into almost any shape.

What kind of materials are used in non asbestos gaskets?

Compressed non-asbestos gasket materials combine non-asbestos fibers such as fiberglass and aramid fibers with rubber to enhance the temperature and pressure performance of the gasket. Combining inorganic and organic fibers with rubber and fiberglass allows for a range of variants that have different mechanical specifications.

When did they stop using asbestos for gaskets?

When asbestos was outlawed, replacement materials were needed; so these asbestos-free, or non-asbestos, materials were developed to perform the same function, but without the corresponding problems.

What kind of gaskets do all seals use?

All Seals  produces custom gaskets and water jet cut gaskets using Garlock®, Thermoseal® (Klinger®), Frenzelit®, Durlon®, Teadit®  brands of compressed non-asbestos materials for all applications. These materials are generally available in thicknesses ranging from 1/64″ to 1/4″ thick.
