JIC 4201 Series

3STAR Flexible Graphite

Characteristic

3STAR Expanded Graphite Gasket shows a good adherence to flange and performs a sealing performance even under low seating stress. There is no property change under temperature variation from cryogenic to High Temperature range. It shows good corrosive and chemical resistance. Various kinds of this type of graphite gasket such as stainless steel (wire-mesh, foil and tang) inserted types can be available in accordance with some special conditions.
