Dynamic sealing
Material designed for high thermalmechanical stresses
A new material designed for high thermal-mechanical stresses has been introduced by Reinz-Dichtungs GmbH.
The newly developed material features a strongly expanded metal mesh reinforcement with a layer of asbestos-free soft material on both sides. The soft material contains no physiologically objectable substances and no colour pigments. Due to the expanded metal mesh reinforcement Reinz-AFM34 MetaU exhibits a number of characterisitics which include: โข high sealability against gases โข high tensile strength โข high shear resistance โข good stress resistance โข chemically resistance โข the material can cope with high unit loads The stainless steel reinforcement imparts high mechanical strength to the material and unlike non-reinforced materials permits AFM 34 Metall to cope with higher internal pressures and temperatures, for instance as is necessary for steam sealing. Flat gaskets of Reinz-AFM 34 MetaU can therefore be used in high pressure and temperature applications where, until now, graphite and spiral wound gaskets have been used.
