KLINGER® Graphite Laminate PSM
The pure graphite gasket with rough sheet metal insert
Basis
Glueless gasket material consisting of expanded graphite and a 0.1mm thick tanged stainless steel insert. The material is free from resins, impregnations or other organic compounds. Therefore it is free of eventual toxic risks. Stable physical properties over the whole temperature range.
Areas of application
KLINGER® Graphite Laminate PSM is suitable for hot water and steam at high temperatures up to 450°C.

Function and durabilty
The performance and service life of KLINGER gaskets depend to a large extent on proper storage and fitting - factors beyond the manufactor’s control. We can, however, vouch for the excellent quality of our products. With this in mind, please also take note of our installation manual.
