KLINGER®Graphite Laminate SLA

The pure graphite gasket with smooth sheet metal insert.

Combining pure exfoliated graphite with an aluminium foil insert, this gasket material promises smooth cutting and handling. Resistant to virtually any type of medium and highly compressible.

Basis composition

Expanded graphite and an aluminium insert.

Areas of application

Thanks to its graphite-based conformability characteristics, it is suitable for low bolt-load and damaged flange scenarios.

Function and durability

The performance and service life of KLINGER gaskets depend to a large extent on proper storage and fitting - factors beyond the manufactor’s control. We can, however, vouch for the excellent quality of our products. With this in mind, please also take note of our installation manual.
