Join Our Webinar: Effectively Seal at Temperatures Over 1,000°F
Date/Time: May 7, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. ET
Sponsor: ERIKS North America
Speaker: David Clover, Senior Product/Application Specialist, ERIKS North America
Host: Chemical Processing
Moderator: Traci Purdum, Senior Editor – Digital Media
This webinar will focus on the challenges that extreme temperatures can present to achieving a reliable seal. Over the years our industry has created innovative and reliable solutions for a wide range of extreme sealing challenges. However, the most glaring hole in solution options has been for that small subset of sealing applications over 1,000⁰F. Up to that point, flexible graphite is reliable and comfortable. But crossing that 1,000⁰F threshold puts us in difficult territory.
To meet these needs ERIKS Netherlands has conducted a multi-year research and development project. This project culminated in the launch of an improved line of Phlogopite mica-based sealing products for spiral wound gaskets, kammprofile gaskets, and sheet gaskets. These products have superb chemical resistance, proven sealability that surpasses existing solutions, and excellent response to high-temperature thermal cycling up to 1,800⁰F.
ERIKS North America is proud to bring this new material technology to our state-side customers and will discuss these difficult applications and the benefits of this new material. Please register for this webinar by clicking the link above.
