Asbestos Gland Packings and Textiles: Reliable Sealing Solutions (For Historical/Specialized Applications ONLY)

WARNING: Asbestos is a known carcinogen. The handling, use, and disposal of asbestos products require strict adherence to all relevant safety regulations and guidelines. This product is offered for historical or specialized applications where no suitable asbestos-free alternative exists and only to those knowledgeable about and equipped to handle asbestos safely. Use with extreme caution and only as a last resort.

This listing details asbestos gland packings and textiles, materials historically used for their exceptional sealing properties in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Due to the inherent health risks associated with asbestos, these products are not recommended for general use. They are provided solely for situations where no safe alternatives are available and where the user understands and accepts the associated risks.

Product Types Available:

• Asbestos Gland Packings: Offered in various forms including braided, plaited, and compressed styles. These packings are designed for use in valves, pumps, and other equipment requiring a reliable seal against steam, water, oil, and other fluids. Specific properties will vary depending on the asbestos type (e.g., chrysotile, amosite) and the inclusion of other materials (e.g., graphite, PTFE). Detailed specifications are available upon request. Please specify required dimensions and material properties.
• Asbestos Textiles: Includes sheets, cloth, and tapes. These materials are utilized for insulation, gaskets, and other applications where high-temperature resistance and sealing are crucial. Again, properties vary based on fiber type and potential additives. Detailed specifications are available upon request. Please specify required dimensions and material properties.

Key Properties (Historical Data):

• Excellent High-Temperature Resistance: Withstands extreme temperatures, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
• High Pressure Resistance: Maintains its integrity under significant pressure.
