Description

Graphitised Texlon® tape is a gasketing material that ensures greater resistance to pressure and compression. Being extremely compact, it is suitable for all applications involving friction and where significant compression is required. It assists the dissipation of electrostatic charges. Soft and flexible, it adapts to all surfaces, even those that are rough.

Tecnical description

• Applications: Manholes, handholes, flue-gas ducts, steam pipe flanges
• Method of use: Degrease, clean and dry the surfaces to be sealed. Remove the protective strip from the adhesive surface and position the gasket tape. Conclude the operation by overlapping the ends or joining them with an oblique cut. Proceed to tighten the bolts gradually or in a criss-cross pattern. If necessary adjust the bolts further once the operating temperature has been reached. In the presence of fragile surfaces or reduced tightening forces, a joint made by cutting the tape in an oblique direction is preferable.
