Flexoid Gasket Paper Set, 5 x A4 Sheets - Various Thicknesses 0.15mm-1.6mm

Product Information

Here at Stephens Gaskets, we are proud to be one of the country’s leading suppliers of shims, washers, and gaskets. With decades of experience under our belts, we have plenty of knowledge on precision machined components. Additionally, with the materials we manufacture with and the industries we serve, we can offer plenty of support to our customers when they need it. We support many different industries with our products including the automotive industry. One of the products we sell which is commonly used by this industry is flexoid gasket paper. But what actually is it? Graphite gasket sheet is something of a traditional material for gasket production, but still very widely used in a range of environments and applications. The higher the carbon content of the graphite gasket paper, the more flexible it will be, but also more brittle. For this reason, high-carbon graphite sheet gasket material is often sold reinforced with various metal cores or fillers. There are many different types of gasket paper on the market, all of which have their own strengths and advantages when used in specific scenarios. In this section, we’ll go over some of the most common and widely available types of gasket sheeting. Rubber gasket sheets Nitrile cork and multiple variants of non-asbestos fibre are common materials found all over the exhaust gasket sheet market - along with a range of older graphite laminate formulas, although these can be somewhat more prone to blowouts.

They’re most commonly used in pipework and ducting systems, where they’re called flange gaskets. Here they help join two sections of pipe together seamlessly to form a continuous, non-leak channel through which liquids or gases can flow. Chlorine-free Flexoid gaskets are most commonly used in the automotive industry. This industry requires hard-wearing parts that offer high performances. Its desirable resistance properties means that gaskets that are made from the material are incredibly adaptable in different parts of a device. They can be used in many different projects and devices including front plates, oil filters, timing covers, water pumps, clutches, axle shafts, fuel pumps, oil pumps, engine side covers, thermostats, gearboxes, axle covers and other automotive applications. Lots of automotive manufacturers worldwide use Flexoid paper to make components from. The material can be easily manipulated into the required shape or size, which is why it is commonly used to create replacement vehicle parts. If components have been discontinued or are hard to get hold of, we can use it to create a duplicate part as a simple, cost-effective and fast solution. The limitations of Flexoid gasketsNitrile rubber sheet suppliers also note that it’s relatively chemical resistant, but remains unsuitable for handling certain media such as strong oxidising agents, chlorines and ketones. Along with various other types of gasket paper, nitrile is available in sponge form too - these can be in open-cell varieties when compressibility is key, or closed-cell if leak prevention is the main aim. Silicone gasket sheets FLEXOID is a plasticised gelatine impregnated, cellulose based gasket material. The prime market for this material is the automotive sector, but it is also extensively used in other industries i.e. water jet cutting etc. Stored gaskets must be protected from wide changes of humidity and temperature to prevent dimensional change

Exhaust gasket sheet materials designed specifically for application in machinery, venting and extraction systems - particularly those used in turbo engine exhausts - need to be able to withstand very high temperatures over extended periods without failing. Flexoid has a major market share in the big four of the European Economic Community, i.e. U.K., Germany, France and Italy Our manufacturing process has remained largely unchanged over the years and relies on naturally sourced products (paper, gelatine, glycerine) requiring minimal chemical intervention, which provides a relatively environmentally friendly product free of heavy metals. With proper storage conditions, our papers have a shelf life of around five years. Jointine Products (Lincoln) Ltd is accredited with ISO9001 and all of our papers comply with ASTM F104 standards, meaning that you can be certain of the quality of our products and service.It is a very economical material, especially where price is a factor when dealing with original equipment and replacement markets. Flexoid material awaiting further processing Characteristics Paper gaskets are widely used in various industries due to their affordability and versatility. Customers can customise our diverse range of paper gaskets to suit their specific needs. We produce them from high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity. Manufacturers use them in a variety of applications, from automotive to industrial, and to seal oils, fuels, and other fluids. With our expertise and experience in manufacturing paper gaskets, you can be confident that you will receive top-quality products that meet or exceed your expectations. Limited uses in industrial markets because of relatively low heat and chemical resistance compared with other non-asbestos materials. Oil paper jointing is used for engines, axles, pumps, pipes and tank flange joints. As such it finds application in the automotive, marine, aero and agricultural industries.
