Application:
DURLON®8300 is premium grade compressed sheet gasket material that is excellent in steam and hydrocarbon services in the refining, petrochemical and power generation industries. Other applications include oil, water, mild alkalis, mild acids and solvents.
Composition:
DURLON® 8300 contains high-strength carbon fibres bonded with nitrile (NBR) synthetic rubber. A release agent on both sides provides good anti-stick properties.
Anti-stick properties:
Much effort has gone into improving the anti-stick release agents of all compressed DURLON® products. All DURLON® compressed gasket materials have passed the MIL-G-24696B Navy Adhesion Test (366°F/48 hrs).
