Durlon® 8400 Compressed Non Asbestos Phenolic Fiber

Phenolic Fiber with NBR Rubber Binder Compressed Sheet Gasket Material

Durlon 8400 Sheet Gasket Material

Application

With an extremely wide pH application range, Durlon® 8400 can be used in process piping and equipment in chemical, pulp and paper, and other general industrial applications. A unique high-performance compressed non asbestos fibers, Durlon® 8400 is an excellent gasket material for use in steam, mild caustics and acids in Class 150 and 300 service.

Composition

Durlon® 8400 contains high temperature phenolic fibers and minerals combined with high-grade Nitrile NBR rubber. It exibits higher temperature limits than aramid based materials and the handling and cutting characteristics are greatly improved over carbon and glass fiber products.

Anti-Stick Properties

Much effort has gone into improving the anti-stick release agents of all compressed Durlon® products. All Durlon® compressed gasket materials have passed the MIL-G-24696B Navy Adhesion Test (366°F/48 hrs).

pH Range

Durlon® 8400 has a pH application range of 2 to 13 at room temperature, the widest any compressed sheet gasket material produced today. This makes Durlon® 8400 especially suitable in pulp and paper, and chemical plant applications.
