The Thermiculite family of products for seals and gaskets offers a cost-effective alternative to industrial seals where resistance to high heat is critical. Thermiculite critical service materials are rated for temperatures up to 1,800F and meet the requirements of the API 607 fire test standard. They are suitable for replacing aramid, glass, carbon fiber, PTFE and graphite gaskets in a number of industrial applications. Thermiculite is available in several forms, including sheets, spiral-wound gaskets, kammprofile gaskets, fiber sheets and static seals. – Flexitallic LP, Deer Park, Tex.
