GRAFILIT® Flexible Graphite Sealing Materials

GRAFILIT® SP

Properties and application

GRAFILIT® SP is a gasket material which combines excellent properties of expanded graphite and the strength of stainless steel. This type of material features has very good strength and creep resistance, chemical stability and high tightness. Grafilit SP is used in the chemical and petrochemical industry, at high surface loads or high operating pressures.
