novatec® SPECIAL - Engineered graphite with Kevlar® Material data Binders golden brown Anti-stick coating both sides A310 standard Sheet size and thickness tolerance acc. DIN 28 091-1 Physical properties Tensile strength Reliable at temperatures up to 360°C novatec® SPECIAL combines the positive gasketing properties of graphite and Kevlar®. The material owes its excellent reliability even at extremely high temperatures to a very low percentage of binders used. The extraordinary safety in operation of novatec® SPECIAL reduces the costs for maintenance and changing the gaskets to a minimum; this investment is surely worthwhile in order to increase the safety in operation. Fluid resistance Weight change Thickness increase Weight change Thickness increase Very high stress relaxation novatec® SPECIAL offers constant security during maintenance intervals due to its excellent long-term stability. The high stress relaxation as well as the longer life of novatec® SPECIAL increase the intervals between maintenance – a further contribution to cost reduction. Safe handling due to high flexibility The patented combination of graphite and Kevlar® makes novatec® SPECIAL extremely flexible and resistant to fracture. Installation problems are a matter of the past. Dimensions in big sizes for gaskets from one piece Very high adaptability Due to its material structure novatec® SPECIAL distinguishes itself by its excellent adaptability to flange irregularities. This flexibility allows novatec® SPECIAL to also be used in old flanges – which is surely a contribution to reducing costs. All previous versions of this prospectus cease to apply.
