APG’s C-4509 - Carbon Fibers and Special Heat-Resistant Additive Sheets with Nitrile Binder is a special high-pressure gasket material that offers excellent service in many sectors of the chemical industry. Main fields of application: alkaline media and steam. The expanded metal reinforcement is a galvanized low carbon steel insert which increases the compressive strength and pressure capability. Suitable for high-pressure applications because of its higher resistance against blowouts. This material is manufactured with carbon fibers and special high-temperature resistance additives and reinforced with a nitrile binder.
Benefits
Suitable for high-pressure applications
Higher resistance against blow-outs
More safety at high internal pressures
Features
Utilization of carbon fibers
Expanded metal reinforcement
Improved stress relaxation
