KLINGERtop-mic

A combination of specially selected mica,

synthetic fibers and fillers to give a sealing
material with outstanding flexibility and
excellent stability in steam. Wire reinforced.
The Klinger group has been recognized as the General Properties
market leader in gaskets and sealing for over Good resistance to steam
a century. Our research and development Resistant to oils, fuels hydrocarbons etc.
laboratories have investigated over 250 Easy to handle and cut
different fiber forms in the search for 3xA anti-stick finish on both sides
asbestos free alternatives. The search has
resulted in a range of high quality and high Availability
performance asbestos free materials that have Sheeting (m): 2.0 x 1.5*, 3.0 x 2.0, 2.0 x 6.0
been proven in service. Thickness (mm): 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0

pT diagram
The Klinger pT diagram provides guidelines for determining the suitability of a particular gasket material for a specific
application based on the operating temperature and pressure only. Always refer to the chemical resistance of the gasket
to the fluid. KLINGERtop-mic is a newly developed material, the pressure and temperature capability is based on a good knowledge
of the fibers and fillers. On site tests are in progress and the results will be published as soon as the tests are completed.
