The hybrid solution that combines fiber and graphite.
Gasket solutions made from our novatec® material combine the advantages of fiber and pure graphite gaskets.
The admixture of pure graphite gives novatec® gasket solutions better temperature and media resistance.
novatec® is therefore ideal for applications in which conventional fiber gaskets do not work or are no longer reliable and where mineral gasket solutions (e.g. novaphit® or novamica®) are “over engineered”, e.g. in:
Boiler systems (as ignition electrode gaskets)
HVAC systems
Household appliances (steam cookers, ironing stations, steam cleaners, etc.)
In addition to the above properties of gasket solutions made out of materials from the novatec® product family, solutions using novatec® SPECIAL have excellent adaptability and are therefore ideal for applications with irregular flange surfaces.
novatec® SPECIAL gasket solutions are available in thicknesses from 1.0 to 3.0 mm and come standard with an anti-stick coating for better removal. The standard color is golden yellow.
