​Gaskets

Pyro-Tex Woven Gasket Sheet
A resilient, compressed sheet... that works!​
Ready to be cut for use in severe conditions.​
​
Services​
Up to 310bar​
Up to 1000°C*​
High equipment wear (scratches/pores)​
​
Reinforced with Flat Metal​
​
Individual graphite foil weaving yarn is reinforced with stainless steal strips; Yarns are then woven; Woven compressed gasket sheet is then rolled into cardboard tubes for shipment.​
Available in sizes as large as 2000 x 4000 sheets​
​
Advantages​

• ​Surface nodules promote flexibility and flow into oxidized surfaces & scratches, pores and steam cuts.​
• Flat metallic leaf springs, jacketed with graphite foil, make this sheet the most resilient gasket you will need.​
• It takes physical abuse like no other graphite foil, handling and feeling like tough leather.​
• Pyro-Tex gasket sheet eliminates the need for a compressing ring to prevent crushing.​
• Layering of sheets allows for greater thicknesses.​
• Eliminates shipping pallets: Gasket Sheets individually packaged in 75 mm cardboard tubes for easy storage.​
• Single sheet thickness: nominal 2 mm.​

​Pyro-Tex Joint Sealants​
​
Slade's self-forming gasket, the Pyro-Tex Joint Sealant, is made from patented graphite-foil encapsulated carbon-fiber reinforced yarns (also available with stainless-steel foil yarns). This self-forming gasket when in place is compressed to fit snugly. ​

• Change gasket without pulling tube bundles​
• Adhesive bonds in place during installation​
• Self forms into endless gasket​
• Made to virtually any thickness or width​
• Never hardens or dries out​
• Metallic reinforcement impedes extrusion​
• Readjustable, often re-usable​
• Individual strands reinforced with:​
  carbon fiber, 304 SS, or Inconel foil​
• Packaged on plastic spools​
• Inventory just one or two sizes​
• Eliminates the need to remove heat exchanger tubes from the shell​

​Performs better than:

• Double jacketed metal gaskets
• Spiral wound gaskets
• Corrugated metal gaskets​

And also:

• More reliable than PTFE joint sealants​
• Eliminates large inventories​
• Easier to Handle​
• Stops damage from rough handling​
• Doesn’t kink out of shape​
• Adjusts to warped flanges​
• Fills pits and scratches up to 3 mm deep​
