Composite material gasket sheet novamica® THERMEX

metalstainless steelmica

The novamica® product family is based on high-grade, optimized phlogopite mica, which is far superior to other types of mica in terms of temperature resistance. In combination with an effective binder system, novamica® opens up a variety of application possibilities in high temperature ranges. novamica® materials have excellent performance characteristics thanks to their extremely low binder content. novamica® enables reliable solutions for applications that cannot be not covered by conventional gasket materials. novamica® gaskets have the following properties: High chemical resistance – even against aggressive and corrosive media Good thermal and electrical insulation properties Incombustible (DNI = does not ignite – according to ASTM SAE J369 fire test) Extremely low binder content guarantees long-term stability novamica® products are not only suitable as conventional high-temperature gaskets but also as insulation materials or temperature-resistant compensation elements. The gasket solution for the highest temperature loads novamica® THERMEX combines the positive properties of optimized phlogopite mica with those of the expanded metal concept, like the way it is used for example in novaphit® SSTC. novamica® THERMEX is designed for use as a conventional gasket material in high temperatures. It is ideal for all sealing requirements in hot gas and exhaust applications (such as exhaust systems, turbochargers, etc.) novamica® THERMEX is a composite material featuring a perfectly balanced binder system and proven expanded metal insert for internal strength and never-before-seen long-term sealing performance in high temperature ranges.
