KLINGER® Graphite Laminate XSM
High temperature gasket material for temperatures up to 550°C
KLINGER® Graphite Laminate XSM is especially suitable for high temperatures up to 550°C.
Basis
Glueless gasket material consisting of a special oxidation protected expanded graphite and a 0.1 mm 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 XSM is mainly used in the automotive industry as a result of its outstanding oxidation resistance.
