CONSTRUCTION:

Non-Asbestos Fibre materials are so-called because they fill the gap in the range of gasket materials previously occupied by asbestos. Asbestos, although now known to be a dangerous material, had excellent heat resistance properties, which is why it was utilised so widely in high temperature applications. When asbestos was outlawed, replacement materials were needed; and so these asbestos-free, or non-asbestos, materials were developed to perform the same function, but without the corresponding danger to human health. These materials are now commonly comprised of aramid fibre (Kevlar) and non-organic fibres, which are in turn blended with different polymers to meet different applications: most commonly nitrile rubber, for fuel and oil resistance. These materials can also be graphite coated for non-stick and steam resistance, mixed with PTFE for excellent chemical resistance, or with EPDM for potable water applications.
Common Industries Utilising Non-Asbestos Fibre
Oil and Gas
Chemical Processing
Petrochemical Industry
Process Industry
General Properties of Non-Asbestos Non-asbestos materials generally have very good heat resistant properties. They are also good for use in applications that put them into contact with water, petrol, or natural gas. As such, non-asbestos materials are used in air compressors, diesel engines, pipelines, and many other general industrial and marine environments. We stock Novus (Flexitallic) and Klinger and Garlock non-asbestos materials. If you can’t find what you are looking for, or require a bespoke material, please do not hesitate to contact us.
