High temperature and pressure resistance designed to withstand extreme operating conditions
THERMICULITE® TR160
Flexitallic TR160 rings have been primarily developed as a component part of a high performance high temperature valve packing. It is also suitable for static sealing applications such as valve bonnet seals. Thermiculite™ possesses excellent chemical resistance, consequently,
Flexitallic TR160 rings can be used across a wide range of chemical media including oils, solvents, acids and alkalis. Especially suitable for ‘Molten Salt’ applications. Not a dynamic seal. Shape
and sizes pre-determined by the tooling.
+ Available in ring form, whole (solid) or split in halves.
+ Typical applications: Isolating & Control Valves stem seals and static seat rings.
+ Max temperature: 1000ºC to -200ºC.
THERMICULITE® 894
Made by over-knitting strips of Thermiculite foil with a fine (0.09 mm diameter) Inconel 600 wire and then braiding a number of those Thermiculite / Inconel strips to produce a square section sealing material available in continuous coil form.
Intended for high temperature and / or aggressive media applications where a flexible gasket / packing is required. Such applications include but not limited to oven door seals, very large diameter flanges and in the production of industrial fertilizers.
+ This material can also be used in conventional high temperature valve stem sealing systems for on-off or isolation valves
+ Max recommended temperature: 1050ºC.
