Graphite and Klingerite Gaskets
Graphite & Klingerite Gaskets – High-Performance Sealing Elements
Graphite and klingerite gaskets are critical sealing solutions used in pipelines, flange connections, valves and industrial equipment to provide sealing against high temperature, high pressure and aggressive chemicals. These gaskets are manufactured from special graphite alloy materials and fiber-reinforced compositions, and deliver reliable performance in demanding processes.

Graphite and klingerite gaskets are critical sealing solutions used in pipelines, flange connections, valves and industrial equipment to provide sealing against high temperature, high pressure and aggressive chemicals. These gaskets are manufactured from special graphite alloy materials and fiber-reinforced compositions, and deliver reliable performance in demanding processes.
Graphite gaskets are produced from pure or reinforced graphite material and are preferred particularly in high-heat, steam, oil, water and gas applications. This structure gives the material both high chemical resistance and temperature tolerance.
Klingerite gaskets are typically formed by pressing graphite- or fiber-based mixtures, and provide sealing to industrial standards with asbestos-free options.
✔ High temperature resistance – Suitable for steam and superheated environments (performance over a wide temperature range)
✔ Strong sealing against pressure – Creates an effective seal at flange, valve and pipe joint connections
✔ Chemical resistance – Resistant to oils, acids, alkaline solutions and solvents
✔ Flexible conformity – Fills surface irregularities for effective gasket performance
✔ Asbestos-free production – Manufactured with alternatives that meet modern sealing requirements and are harmless to human health

What is a graphite gasket?
A graphite gasket is a graphite-based gasket type that provides effective sealing at high temperature and pressure; it is resistant to aggressive chemicals.
What is a klingerite gasket used for?
Klingerite gaskets are formed from a mixture of graphite and fiber, and provide reliable sealing at flange, valve and pipe connections.
In which sectors is it used?
It is widely used in chemicals, energy, petrochemicals, shipping, steam lines and general industrial processes.
What is the difference between a graphite gasket and a standard gasket?
Graphite gaskets provide high temperature and chemical resistance; standard gaskets are for lower-performance environments.
