At R4 Gaskets, our premium graphite gaskets are designed for high-temperature and high-pressure sealing applications. Available in three grades and various thickness options, our graphite gaskets can be customised to meet your unique requirements and applications.
Key Features of Graphite Gaskets
One of the standout features of our graphite gaskets is their excellent low-friction surface, which ensures superior durability and allows for continuous use without warping or deterioration. Additionally, graphite gaskets are impermeable to gases and liquids, making them ideal for steam cycling applications.
To enhance strength and durability, our graphite gaskets can be reinforced with various metal cores, offering different composition options tailored to your specific needs. This customisation ensures that you get the precise properties required for your application.
Material Composition Options
- Homogeneous Graphite
- Maximum Operating Temperature: 500°C (dry), 650°C (steam)
- Maximum Pressure: 40 Bar
Free from fibres, binders, or additives, this grade offers superior flexibility to fill surface imperfections. Commonly used in metal jacketed gaskets, heat exchanger gaskets, and corrugated metal gaskets.
- Stainless Steel Foil Graphite
- Maximum Operating Temperature: 500°C (dry), 650°C (steam)
- Maximum Pressure: 140 Bar
Reinforced with stainless steel foil, this grade maintains high flexibility while enhancing durability for demanding applications such as metal jacketed and heat exchanger gaskets.
