Product catalog summary
Material Profile
novaMICA® THERMEX is a gasket material made from processed phlogopite mica with an expanded stainless steel metal insert (AISI 316L / 1.4404). It offers excellent properties such as extremely high temperature stability (up to 1000 °C), low long-term leakage at high temperatures, reliable handling, and smooth processability.

Application Areas
This material is ideal for exhaust systems in combustion engines, turbochargers, and compressors. It is resistant to temperature changes and can be effectively combined with an inner eyelet for enhanced performance.

Environmental and Quality Certifications
Frenzelit is certified under ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, and ISO 14001, ensuring transparency and security for customers.
