GRAFILIT® Flexible Graphite Sealing Materials

GRAFILIT® SF

Properties and application

GRAFILIT® SF is a gasket material with very low creep relaxation and high tightness at low bolt loading. It is suitable for almost all chemicals, in food industry and in contact with drinking water. Because of its high compressibility it is suitable for glass or enamel flanges.
