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.)
Custom geometries made from novatec® INDUSTRIAL are an economical alternative to mineral flat gaskets, have good residual stress, are very adaptable and have very good thermal and chemical resistance thanks to the high graphite content.
novatec® INDUSTRIAL gasket solutions are used everywhere media-conducting systems (e.g. oil, water, steam, weak acids and alkalis) must work reliably and with low loss at high temperatures (max. 250 °C).
novatec® INDUSTRIAL gasket solutions are available in thicknesses from 0.5 to 4.0 mm and can also be equipped with an anti-stick coating for better removal on request. The standard color is black. Customizations (other colors) or finishing such as self adhesive properties or further compaction are possible at any time on request.
