INNOVATIVE.
Cutting-Edge Material Technology
Ever since inventing the spiral wound gasket nearly a century ago,
Flexitallic has been at the forefront of fluid sealing innovation.
In 1998, Flexitallic set new standards for sealing technology with
the introduction of Thermiculite
® Critical Service Series gasket
material available in Tanged Sheet—and later in Spiral Wound Filler
and Flexpro
™ (kammprofile) Facing styles.
Exclusive to Flexitallic, this revolutionary material, comprised of
chemically and thermally exfoliated vermiculite
*, simulated the
structure of exfoliated graphite, with one notable exception—it
maintained integrity through a wide range of extreme temperatures.
All Thermiculite Critical Service Series products were designed
and engineered for high temperature processes in services up
to 1800°F / 982°C. * Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral with a plate-like
structure demonstrating an exceptionally broad range of chemical
and temperature resistance.
VERSATILE.
A New Level of Performance
Through our continued dedication to research and development,
Flexitallic is now proud to offer our customers a new series of
Thermiculite products.
New Thermiculite Performance Series gasket material—developed
for use in more moderate temperature applications—maintains the
same broad chemical resistance and freedom from oxidation that
has made Thermiculite Critical Service Series such a success.
This innovative and versatile material is available in Coreless Sheet
and Spiral Wound Filler styles, and is suitable for replacing aramid
fiber, glass fiber, carbon fiber, PTFE and graphite in a wide array
of applications.
COMPLETE.
The Total Static Sealing Solution
Since its inception, Thermiculite gasket material has proven itself
as an effective long-term sealing solution in over 500 of the most
demanding industrial sealing applications—the most complete
range since asbestos.
With the combination of Thermiculite Critical Service (800 Series)
and Thermiculite Performance (700 Series), a single, proven
material can be used for virtually all of your sealing requirements.
That’s why we call Thermiculite The Total Static Sealing Solution.
