Asbestos Gaskets (CAF)

We are specialized in making a CAF Gasket which is die cut or circle cut . These gaskets are made using selected chrysotile fibres & are flawlessly blended with suitable heat resisting  binders as well as fillers &  vulcanized into sheets of uniform composition and thickness.
We follow standard specification to suit to the flanges.

Asbestos gaskets are still regarded as one of the best gasket materials due to its high temperature capabililties, chemical resistance and its mechanical strength which allows the gasket hold a lower percentage of rubber binder.

This type of gasket is tough, durable and dimensionally stable, relatively incompressible and exhibits low creep characteristics. It also has the ability to effectively form a seal over a wide range of service conditions which has given it a good reputation. Compressed asbestos fiber(CAF) gaskets have good chemical resistance capabilities and a good working temperature range of cryogenic to 1,100F. It is less suitable for low bolt loads such as use with non-metallic flanges and low grade bolts, and is not suitable for use in stainless steel flanges due to its chlorine content which will damage the flanges. However, CAF gaskets can be installed relatively easily due to their ability to handle mechanical abuse, incorrect fitting and bolt-load retorquing.
