High-temperature applications are those where temperatures range from 250°C (482°F) to 1000°C (1832°F), depending on the specific industry and application. Whether you are working with low or high temperatures, it is essential that you can rely on the integrity of your sealing solution.
Sealing in high-temperature processes is often complex and often includes additional factors such as oxidation, thermal cycling and relaxation of flange components. Together, these elements cause significant stress on the sealing material, which can lead to premature failure, leakage and, when flammable products are involved, the risk of fire.
Thermiculite® is specifically designed for use at high temperatures up to 1000°C/1832°F and can also withstand extreme temperature fluctuations. The material is also chemically resistant and comes in various forms, including sheet materials, fillers for spiral wound seals, covers for comb profiles and in the CHANGE seal. Thermiculite® complies with strict legislative requirements such as TA Luft and is flame-resistant according to the API 6FB standard.
Our experienced specialists can advise you on the most suitable sealing materials for your application, taking into account the pressures, temperatures and media involved.
