Specification of KLINGER®SLS
KLINGER®SLS Graphite Gasket
Characteristic & main applications
KLINGER®SLS is available in the unique AS (anti stick) or G configuration.
The steel foil gives improved handling and load-bearing characteristics.
The excellent conformability of graphite means that the material is suitable for applications where bolt load is limited or flanges are damaged.
It is ideal for use in the pulp and paper, chemicals and steam industries.
