Non-Asbestos Sheeting
NON-ASBESTOS SHEETING
Non-asbestos sheeting is made from Kevlar aramid fiber and non-organic fibers that are blended with different polymers depending on the application. It contains no asbestos.
Non-asbestos sheeting is ideal for use as a general service gasket in the process industries. It is also commonly used as a roofing material thanks to its excellent insulation characteristics and resistance to impacts, rain, water, UV light and ozone degradation.
PROPERTIES
When blended with different polymers, non-asbestos sheeting offers a range of performance characteristics.
- Nitrile rubber offers fuel and oil resistance
- Graphite coated provides non-stick and steam resistance
- PTFE (Teflon) offers excellent chemical resistance
- EPDM is suitable for potable water applications
Depending on the polymer blend, non-asbestos sheeting can handle a range of materials.
