Graphite is generally used in high temperature and high-pressure environments and commonly finds applications in steam cycling or exhaust applications. These gaskets provide a higher performance seal in these conditions than non-asbestos jointing. Graphite has a low friction surface. It excels in extreme conditions, resisting high pressures and temperatures.
It is available as a pure graphite sheet or with a steel core insertion which gives greater rigidity to the material. We can supply industrial or nuclear grade graphite.
If you are unsure as to which material is best for your application then you can consult our gasket material selector or our guide to rubbers. Material specifications can be downloaded from the link at the top of this page.
