Non-asbestos sheets are high-performance sealing materials designed as a safe alternative to traditional asbestos sheets, eliminating the health hazards associated with asbestos fibers. These sheets are made from synthetic fibers such as aramid, glass, or carbon, combined with rubber binders like NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer).
The primary advantage of non-asbestos sheets is their excellent resistance to heat, pressure, and chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of sealing applications. They offer reliable performance in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, automotive, and marine, where they are used for making gaskets, flange seals, and other sealing components.
Non-asbestos sheets provide good compressibility, recovery, and dimensional stability, ensuring tight sealing even under varying temperatures and pressures. They can effectively seal oils, fuels, steam, gases, water, and many chemical substances, depending on the formulation of fibers and binders used. Their durability reduces the need for frequent gasket replacements and maintenance.
In addition to their sealing efficiency, non-asbestos sheets are easy to handle, cut, and install. They are environmentally friendly and free from the health risks posed by asbestos materials, ensuring a safer working environment for personnel involved in manufacturing and maintenance operations.
Overall, non-asbestos sheets are a safe, dependable, and cost-effective choice for sealing applications that demand high performance and long-term reliability across various industrial sectors.
