Gasket Tape, Style 482 Thermex™

UTEX Style 482 THERMEX™ Gasket Tape and Joint Sealant is manufactured using exfoliated graphite yarns that have been individually wrapped with a reinforcement of Inconel® wire. These yarns are braided to provide a high-strength, high pressure, continuous length of gasketing. This gasketing is surrounded by an additional layer of knitted 300 series stainless steel to provide a dual armor jacketed gasket tape. This tape is also treated with a proprietary mixture of sealing lubricant and sacrificial corrosion inhibitor. This process provides a high-strength, sure-sealing gasket tape that resists blow-out in high temperature flanges and resists galvanic corrosion with stainless flanges.
