is claimed to provide a far
superior performance to existing gasket materials in hot and corrosive
duties. The material is Novatec Premium, manufactured in Germany by
Frenzelit-Werke. Its main component is graphite reinforced with DuPont's
Kevlar fibre, and it has a low percentage (less than 5%) of NBR binder -
properties that ensure good residual strength, even at the extremes of
the duty cycle.
