The expanded mineral graphite of Planigraph™ Premium LGP meets the requirements of the latest update of the EU directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS) and complies with the requirements of the oxidation test EN 14772 section 6.7. This type of gasket ensures a reliable and durable sealing, making it an ideal option for all industrial applications, from the simplest to the most demanding.
Expanded mineral graphite is also known for its chemical resistance, making it suitable for applications involving almost all fluids except for oxidants. In addition, expanded mineral graphite gaskets can be easily cut and shaped to fit the specific needs of the application. Thanks to its high thermal resistance, expanded mineral graphite can withstand high temperatures without damage or deformation, ensuring a reliable and safe sealing.
