A non-asbestos gasket is a safe, modern sealing component made from synthetic fibers (like aramid or Kevlar), carbon, glass, or graphite bound with elastomers (like NBR or EPDM). It replaces hazardous asbestos materials while offering high resistance to heat, pressure, and chemicals in industrial piping and machinery.
Key Materials Used
Aramid/Kevlar Fibers: Provide high tensile strength and burst resistance.
Graphite & Carbon: Add exceptional thermal stability and anti-stick properties.
Binder Elastomers: Nitrile (NBR) for oils and fuels, or EPDM for water and weather resistance.
