Solution for Sealing at Temperatures Over 1,000°F
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.
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.

On-site Gasket and Bolting Training Techniques
Our sealing specialists can provide you with on-site gasket and bolting training. Our bolting training utilizes a FADU (Flange Assembly Demonstration Unit). This interactive training tool provides the maintenance, operations, and engineering personnel the ability to see the value of using a controlled bolting process in their plant, through a variety of modules.
