Properties and application
BAU 2000 serves as a high-quality universal gasket material which can be applied for general use at a higher pressure, temperature and surface stress.
BAU 2000 combines high-torque retention, chemical properties and sealability, enabling low maintenance costs and high joint safety. BAU 2000 is very suitable for the sealing of oils, fuels, gases, Freons, solvents, non-aggressive chemicals and many other media. Due to its carefully selected composition BAU 2000 can be also used in food industry and in contact with drinking water (also at high temperatures). Special surface treatment provides low adhesion of gasket on flange surfaces. BAU 2000 is suitable for demanding applications in machinery, pumps, pipelines, radiators, boilers and many different flanged joints.
