THERMEX™ GASKET TAPE AND
JOINT SEALANT |
UTEX Style 482 THERMEX™ Gasket
Tape and Joint Sealant is manufactured using exfoliated graphite
yarns that have been individually wrapped with a reinforcement
of Inconel® wire. These yarns are braided to provide a high-strength,
high pressure, continuous length of gasketing. This gasketing
is surrounded by an additional layer of knitted 300 series stainless
steel to provide a dual armor jacketed gasket tape. This tape
is also treated with a proprietary mixture of sealing lubricant
and sacrificial corrosion inhibitor. This process provides a high-strength,
sure-sealing gasket tape that resists blow-out in high temperature
flanges and resists galvanic corrosion with stainless flanges. Flange
