Applications
- Gaskets material in automotive, petroleum and chemical, paper, and nuclear industries.
- Thermal barrier at high temperature to provide outstanding reflectivity.
- Fuel cell industry for bipolar plates.
- Excellent for sealing high temperature valves, shafts and flanges.
- Excellent linings and protective layer for vessels containing hot or corrosive fluids
Advantages of Flexible Graphite Foil
- Excellent thermal stability and reflectivity.
- Resistant to low temperature of -200 degree C.
- Resistant to high temperature of 450 degree C in air, 700 degree C in steam and 3000 degree C in inert or reducing environment.
- Chemically inert: Resistant to fluids with pH range of 0-14 (except strong oxidizers such as nitric or sulphuric acid).
- High purity – eliminates potential fluid contamination, ideal material for nuclear applications
- Low coefficient of friction - It is self-lubricating.
- Asbestos free – no associated health hazards.
- Low electrical resistivity.
- High thermal conductivity.
- Highly anisotropic - the electrical and thermal conductivity characteristics are very different in the direction parallel to and perpendicular to flakes.
- Excellent in-process longevity – save replacement and down time costs.
