Exhaust gasket sheet materials designed specifically for application in machinery, venting and extraction systems - particularly those used in turbo engine exhausts - need to be able to withstand very high temperatures over extended periods without failing. In its simplest form, a gasket is really just a small part cut out of some sheet material, very often in an ‘o-ring’ shape, that helps form a compressible leak-proof seal between two surfaces or components. Gaskets are usually made from a robust, flexible, and/or chemical/heat/acid-resistant substance. Asbestos has various properties that traditionally made it a leading choice for industrial gasket applications. Asbestos gasket sheet is a tough and fibrous material that offers superb resistance to volatile chemicals and extremes of temperature - but it’s a particularly hazardous material to work in close proximity to.

Important considerations to factor in when choosing gasket sheet materials include operating temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility and long-term cost-effectiveness of more robust products over cheaper but less reliable alternatives. Carburettor; Fuel Pump; Front Plate; Oil Pump; Oil Filter; Side Cover; Timing Cover; Thermostat; Water Pump Paper gaskets are widely used in various industries due to their affordability and versatility. Customers can customise our diverse range of paper gaskets to suit their specific needs. We produce them from high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity. Manufacturers use them in a variety of applications, from automotive to industrial, and to seal oils, fuels, and other fluids. With our expertise and experience in manufacturing paper gaskets, you can be confident that you will receive top-quality products that meet or exceed your expectations. For this reason, flexoid gasket paper is used extensively by the automotive sector. It is particularly useful in the manufacture of water pumps, fuel pumps, oil filters, gearboxes, clutch mechanisms, axle shafts, thermostats, carburettors, and many other engine components. Flexoid is sold in printed or plain form. Material can be printed with customer’s own brand. Details on request.Nitrile rubber gasket material is a fairly broad-spectrum type, useful in a wide range of applications. It’s particularly effective at protecting against leaks of water, oils, hydrocarbons and silicone greases, and offers better performance under high temperatures than neoprene alternatives. It is a very economical material, especially where price is a factor when dealing with original equipment and replacement markets. Flexoid material awaiting further processing Characteristics Because of its ability to seal against petrol, oil and water at low cost, Flexoid is used extensively by leading British, European and US automotive manufacturers Flexoid gasket paper is relatively inexpensive, and very easy to use. This makes it a popular choice of material for the automotive industry. Due to the gelatine infusion, flexoid is highly resistant to many different types of liquid substances. Arguably one of its most appealing properties is its resistance against petrol, oil, water, and other fuels. With this in mind, it actually acts as a fantastic seal against these liquids. Limitations Of Flexoid Gasket Paper They’re most commonly used in pipework and ducting systems, where they’re called flange gaskets. Here they help join two sections of pipe together seamlessly to form a continuous, non-leak channel through which liquids or gases can flow.

FLEXOID is a plasticised gelatine impregnated, cellulose based gasket material. The prime market for this material is the automotive sector, but it is also extensively used in other industries i.e. water jet cutting etc.Other high-performance options include steel and copper reinforced gaskets. Whatever the material, it’s also important that exhaust gaskets offer good resistance to gas leaks, and are fairly easy to access and maintain. High-temperature gasket sheets
