KLINGER^® Graphite Laminate PDM

The more highly compressed pure graphite gasket with two rough sheet metal inserts.

Adhesive-free and manufactured from expanded graphite, this gasket material features two 0.1 mm thick tanged stainless steel inserts. Ideal for high-pressure, hot water and steam at temperatures up to 450 °C, this gasket material is free of resins, impregnations or other organic compounds. Furthermore, it displays stable physical properties across the entire temperature range.
