C-4409 - Synthetic Fiber Sheets With Nitrile Binder

Written by APG | Dec 1, 2022 6:33:36 AM

APG’s C-4409 - Synthetic Fiber Sheets with Nitrile Binder has an expanded metal reinforcement. The galvanized low carbon steel insert makes this material suitable for conditions with high thermal and mechanical stress. C-4409 is excellent in hot gases and can replace spiral wound gaskets in some applications. This material is manufactured with synthetic fiber reinforced with a nitrile binder.

Gases & Steam

Liquids

In area 1 the gasket material is suitable using common installment practices subject to chemical compatibility

In area 2 appropriate measures are necessary for installation of the gasket to ensure maximum performance.

In area 3 do not install gaskets in these applications without first contacting APG for technical support service.
