Expert Mechanical Seal Repair | Waterjet Cut | Precision Gasket Cutting
Application
Our workhorse material, Durlon® 8500 is excellent in steam, natural gas, soybean processing and with new generation refrigerants. A high quality non asbestos general service gasket material for use in a wide range of services in pulp and paper, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, refinery, gas pipeline and general industry. Durlon® 8500 exhibits good compressibility and recovery, excellent sealability, flexibility and cutting characteristics.
Composition
Durlon® 8500 contains high-strength aramid and inorganic fibers bonded with high-grade Nitrile (NBR) rubber.
FIRE TESTING
Durlon® 8500 has successfully passed a modified version of the API 607 fire test. The duration of the direct flame portion of the test is 30 minutes and the flange temperature must reach 1200°F in the first 15 minutes. The internal pressure is held at a constant 30 psig. After the flame is shut off, the fixture is immediately water quenched with an overhead water blast. Leakage must not exceed 100 ml/min after a 6 minute cool down to successfully pass the test. Subsequent leakage testing is also performed.
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).

Warning: Durlon gasket materials should never be recommended when both the temperature and the pressure are at the maximums listed. Properties and applications shown are typical. No application should be undertaken by anyone without independent study and evaluation for suitability. Never use more than one gasket in one flange joint, and never reuse a gasket. Improper use or gasket selection could cause property damage and/or serious personal injury. The data reported is a compilation of field testing, field service reports and/or in-house testing. While the utmost care has gone into publishing the information contained herein, we assume no responsibility for errors. The information and specifications contained in this website are subject to change without notice. This revision cancels and obsoletes all previous editions. |
