High-quality graphite with intelligent expanded metal insert novaphit® SSTC is the classic solution of the novaphit® family proven millions of times over. This gasket material made from high-quality expanded graphite (purity: at least 99%) has excellent media resistance and offers maximum reliability with changing loads. An acid-resistant expanded metal insert (1.4404, AISI 316 L) was specifically chosen as reinforcement for novaphit® SSTC. This delivers superior performance compared to all other commercially available inserts: Thanks to its three-dimensional geometry, it is actively involved in the sealing process and therefore positively influences the gasket’s leakage properties. The combination of high-quality graphite reinforced with an expanded metal insert has a number of advantages: Optimized surface pressure distribution Recovery properties optimize the sealing behavior Favorable grid geometry makes it possible to produce even narrow gasket widths High fault tolerance in use Secure handling – even if the material is accidentally bent novaphit® SSTC can be used as a standard gasket for almost all applications, lowering storage costs and the likelihood of using the wrong gasket. novaphit® SSTC can also be equipped with XP technology on request.
