DURLON® HT1000® HIGH TEMP MICA GASKETS
Durlon® HT1000® consists of phlogopite mica paper impregnated with an inorganic binder at less than half the binder amount found in vermiculite-phyllosilicate filled products. This lower binder content allows for superior weight retention, less than 5% weight loss at 800°C (1,472°F), and results in ultimate extreme temperature sealing performance up to 1,000°C (1,832°F). Durlon® HT1000® characteristics allow for it to be used as a sealing material on its own or combined with various carrier media in heat exchangers, exhaust manifolds, and other equipment commonly found in the refinery, power generation, and chemical industries.
Phlogopite mica is a non-toxic naturally occurring hydrated silicate of potassium and magnesium with a lamellar and non-fibrous structure. It is flexible, has a high tensile strength, can withstand substantial mechanical pressure perpendicular to the lamellar plane, is chemically resistant, fireproof, infusible, incombustible, non-flammable, and is a known alternative to asbestos.
