Mica Gasket Sheet

Mica gaskets sheets are used in the automotive sector, gas turbines, gas and oil burners, heat exchangers, and other flange connections. Mica gaskets are made from a material that consists of phlogopite mica paper and is waterproofed with a silicone binder. A special heat resists tanged steel [1.4828] provides mechanical reinforcement in the form of corrugated metal ring inserts, eyelets, and/or sheet reinforcement inserts. Both the media resistance of mica as well as the metallic reinforcement and eyelet elements have to be considered for application with aggressive substances. The considerably low loss of mass during high-temperature applications can be demonstrated with the thermogravimetric method.
