Graphite gaskets

In today’s industrial landscape, finding reliable solutions to ensure sealing and durability in extreme conditions is a priority for many companies. In this context, CMD’s expanded graphite products stand out as an effective answer to this need, offering optimal performance in both static and dynamic conditions, even under high sliding velocities, temperatures and pressures.

Expanded graphite is a material with extraordinary properties, characterized by a lamellar structure that gives it remarkable mechanical and chemical resistance, as well as high thermal and electrical conductivity. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for application in industrial gaskets, where sealing and resistance to external agents are critical.

Expanded graphite gaskets are successfully used in a wide range of industries, each with its own specific requirements. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, for example, where working conditions can be extreme due to the presence of corrosive substances and high temperatures, graphite gaskets have proven to be a reliable option for ensuring the tightness of piping and vessel systems.

In the oil & gas industry, graphite seals are also widely used, especially in offshore applications where operating conditions can be particularly challenging. With their resistance to corrosion and compression, these gaskets ensure that joints and valves are sealed even under the most extreme conditions.

In the energy sector, which also includes geothermal power generation, graphite gaskets find application in heat exchange systems and steam generators. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and steam pressure makes them an ideal choice for ensuring the efficiency and reliability of this critical equipment.

Even in the paper and food industries, where hygiene and safety are priorities, expanded graphite gaskets are widely used. Their resistance to contamination and ability to maintain a seal even under heavy duty cycles make them an ideal choice for applications requiring a high degree of reliability and safety.

CMD’s expanded graphite gaskets provide a reliable and versatile solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Thanks to their outstanding mechanical, thermal and chemical properties, these gaskets are able to ensure sealing and durability even under the most extreme conditions, thus helping to improve the reliability and efficiency of industrial processes in various fields.
