Material
An integral element of our exceptional ability to manufacture and supply gaskets, is our extensive inventory of gasket material. At all times we stock a wide range of elastomeric, non-elastomeric, textile, and compressed sheet material in both sheets and rolls.
This, in addition to our stringent quality control program, ensures total consistency of the quality and tolerance accuracy of commercial and specification material alike.
For your convenience, all gasket material is available in whole rolls or cut lengths, sheets, strips of any width and finished gaskets. Materials listed in this brochure are the most commonly ordered in this.

Frenzelit Compressed Gasket Sheet - Style: 7095
Novapress multi II Compressed Graphite Composite
novapress multi II is Frenzelit’s high temperature, high pressure compressed gasket material. This sheet’s high content of pure graphite has given it over 11 years of successful use in the field. It is easily identified by its blue colored “easy release” non-stick coating.
We manufacture the only Compressed gasket material on the market that; can withstand maximum temperatures in continuous operation, have a pH rating of 2-14 and have a non-stick coating that allows used gaskets to literally falloff the flange. The “Gasket Installation Procedure” must be followed to assure optimum performance in your gasket application.

Packing
Graphite/ PTFE Packing - Style: 2024
Graphite/PTFE /High Temp Lube/Centerlock
Centerlock® braided from pure CPL fiber. This packing is comparable to GFO® fiber in performance but at a lower cost. CPL fiber is made of: Carbon, a high purity graphite; Polytetrafluroethylene, PTFE; and high temperature inert Lubricant.
This unique packing has a graphite content of over 50%. That means CPL fiber is one of only two yarns to achieve this high graphite content. The end result of this high graphite content is longer wear, better heat transfer, and a broad pH range. Less than 50% PTFE in the yarn makes this packing kinder to the shaft while retaining good abrasion resistance.

PTFE Packing - Style: 2034
Pure PTFE/Centerlock
Pure PTFE Filament and Lubricated with PTFE Suspensoid. Centerlock® braided from pure PTFE filament and lubricated with PTFE suspensoid. This construction creates a dense firm packing with excellent chemical resistance and is impervious to vapor and gases. Conforms with Mil-P-24396, Type B.
Graphite Packing - Style: 2105
Flexible Pure Graphite
Braided from flexible pure graphite. This form of pure graphite was developed as a direct result of our Style 2110. Style 2105 is a high density pure graphite braid, not a man made carbon/graphite fiber. This packing has excellent high and low temperature operating ability. Style 2105 can be ran dry in pumps and withstand dramatic pressure and temperatures in valves.
Graphite Packing - Style: 2110
Flexible Pure Graphite/Inconel Wire/Centerlock
Braided from flexible pure graphite and inconel wire. Style 2110 contains high density pure graphite strands with inconel wire running down the center of each strand. All strands are then braided into the required square cross section. This construction creates a mechanical packing that can withstand working pressure and temperature that are impressive especially in valves.
Aramid Packing - Style: 2046
Hi Temp Lube/Centerlock
This unique construction of Aramid fiber corners and CPL fiber body is specifically designed for abrasive applications where the media contains 20% to 30% solids and the particulate size to 50 to 80 microns. This is a range in which neither CPL Style 2024 or Aramid Style 2042 performs exceptionally well. Style 2046 also works as bull rings with CPL Style 2024 in applications where there are abrasives and/or excessive gland clearances.
Metal Gaskets
Style: 9000
Spiralwound with Compression Ring
Spiralwound with compression ring to API 601 to suite ASME/ANSI B16.5 Flanges, Normally supplied with a Carbon steel compression ring outside of the spirals. Available in a wide variety of sizes, pressure and temperature ranges. Also available Style 9000 gaskets that comply with the requirements of MIL-G-24716.
The compression ring facilitates accurate centering, easier, quicker installation and acts as a radial pressure retaining ring while limiting the “crush” of the spiral/filler section.
