Pyro-Tex Woven Gasket Sheet

A resilient, compressed sheetthat works! Ready to be cut for use in severe conditions. Services: High temperatures (for temperatures over 1000F/540C, consult the factory) High pressures (up to 4500 psi/310 bar) High equipment wear (scratches/pores)

Reinforced with Flat Metal Leaf Springs (a) of stainless steel, encapsulated in a thick vermiculated graphite foil jacket (b). These metal reinforced graphite strands, Slades weaving yarns, are woven into a tough, resilient cloth-like sheet (c).

The flat metal leaf springs at the core of each strand crisscross each other throughout the cloth to impart an enduring resiliency. The woven sheets are compressed to increase density to form a leak tight gasket sheet.
Advantages

Flat metallic leaf springs, jacketed with graphite foil, make this 80 x 80 sheet the most resilient gasket you will need. It takes physical abuse like no other graphite foil, handling and feeling like tough leather. The metallic spring strands are woven across one another to actuate the gasket through each thermal cycle continually adjusting to expansion and contraction that leaves other compressed gasketing lifeless (d). Pyro-Tex gasket sheet replaces spiral wound gaskets, removing the spiral leak path and eliminating the need for a compressing ring to prevent crushing. Pyro-Tex gasket sheet puts flanges back in compliance by filling scratches, pores, and steam cuts with flexible graphite. Each sheet is packed in heavy-duty tubes to eliminate shipping palettes and enable easy storage and handling.

Pyro-Tex Joint Sealant

Slades self-forming gasket, the Pyro-Tex Joint Sealant, is made from patented graphite-foil encapsulated carbon-fiber reinforced yarns (also available with stainless-steel foil yarns). This self-forming gasket when in place is compressed to fit snugly. Available in 25 and 50 foot spools in various configurations, shapes, and thicknesses.
