Product catalog summary
Material Profile
High performance metal bead gaskets, novaform® GB, are made from thin sheet metal with or without an elastomeric coating applied through a coil-coating process. These gaskets are designed for small bridges and maintain tightness even at low surface pressures. The preformed beads ensure macro adaptation to sealing surfaces, while the elastomer coating provides micro sealing. This combination ensures permanent tightness under low bolt loads and challenging thermal and mechanical conditions.
Application Areas
Novaform® GB gaskets are used in automotive applications such as passenger and commercial vehicle engines, engine components, exhaust systems, and powertrains. They are also suitable for industrial applications including gearboxes, compressors, pumps, motors, and other aggregates.
Environmental and Quality Certifications
Frenzelit is certified under ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 14001, ensuring transparency and security for customers.
Technical Information
The novaform® GBS material profile includes cold rolled strip DC 01 C490 steel with a thickness of 0.25 mm, coated with oil and fuel-resistant NBR and anti-stick coatings. The design allows for cut gaskets or gaskets with beads, available in various bead heights and widths.
Design and Engineering
Frenzelit specializes in manufacturing gaskets to specification, utilizing CAD systems and FEM simulation software to tailor products to application requirements. Prototypes are available for testing in small lot sizes.
Design Possibilities
Base materials include carbon steel and stainless steel with various thicknesses. Coatings available include NBR, FPM, and HTC, with different thicknesses and colors.
General Data
The standard gasket thickness is 0.33 mm, with a tensile strength of 565 ± 75 N/mm² and temperature resistance from -25 to +160°C. Chemical resistance tests show minimal changes in thickness and weight when exposed to engine oil, ASTM Fuel B, and water/glycol mixtures.

novaform ® GB - Metal Bead Gaskets-1

novaform® GB High Performance Metal Bead Gaskets Material profile High performance metal bead gaskets novaform® GB consist of thin sheet metal with or without elastomeric coating applied in a coil-coating process. The gaskets are stamped and embossed in a sequential cutting machine. • For small bridges • Even at low surface pressures • Almost no setting – permanently tight Preformed beads in novaform® GB ensure the macro adaptation of the metal gaskets to the sealing surfaces. A special elastomer coating on the steel sheet ensures the gaskets' micro sealing. The combination of different materials guarantees that the joint is permanently tight even with low bolt loads or unfavourable thermal and mechanical conditions. Application areas • Automotive secondary gaskets - passenger vehicle engines - commercial vehicle engines - engine components - exhaust systems - powertrain • Industrial applications - gearboxes - compressors - pumps - motors - other aggregates Good for people and the environment Frenzelit has obtained certification that the company complies with the requirements of both ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 14001. This means complete transparency in all areas and a high degree of security for our customers. Do you have any questions about your application?
