In today’s demanding industrial environments, reliability and efficiency are paramount. Durlon® CFG is our corrugated flexible graphite gasket material for tough operating environments. This Durlon CFG severe service gasket provides strong sealing and recovery characteristics across industries such as refining, chemical, petrochemical, and pulp & paper.
Why choose the Durlon CFG severe service gasket: Durlon® CFG is more than just a gasket. It is a performance-driven sealing solution built for difficult conditions. Here is why it should be your top choice:
- Superior sealing and recovery: The unique corrugation design delivers excellent spring-back characteristics. As a result, the gasket maintains a tight seal even under thermal cycling conditions.
- Blowout resistance: A robust metal core helps counteract internal pressure spikes. Therefore, it enhances both safety and durability.
- Enhanced emissions control: Tested to meet ASTM F2378 standards, Durlon® CFG offers superior nitrogen sealability of less than 0.01 cc/min.
- Ease of use: Durlon® CFG is easy to handle and install. In addition, it provides reliable sealing with lower bolt loads than spiral wound gaskets.
Material versatility and customization: Durlon® CFG gaskets are engineered with flexible graphite laminated with adhesive bonds on a corrugated 316 stainless steel core. This construction supports durability and resistance to various chemicals, mild acids, alkalis, hydrocarbons, and solvents.
Need something more specific? Durlon® CFG also offers alternative facing materials, such as Durlon® 9600 expanded PTFE, mica, and ceramic. This allows the gasket to meet a wider range of application requirements.
Certifications and compliance: Safety and compliance are central to Durlon® CFG’s design. It is certified for fire safety under API 6FB and compliant with RoHS Reach Declaration. Because of this, Durlon® CFG is a responsible choice for industries ranging from water and wastewater management to power generation and marine applications.
