Gasket Material
Selecting the right gasket material is vital for gasket performance. Gaskets and seals primary functions are to compress and seal under high demand; compensating for mating surface irregularities at high temperatures and stresses. As a guard against gas or fluid flow, gaskets have to function at a level that meets the needs of heavy machinery as well have a wide variety of types to choose from.
CTP offers a large selection of N-8092 Gasket Material from Interface Solutions™ that fits a plethora of applications, and our sales experts are always happy to help on choosing the right material for gaskets from your first question to your last.
Why does CTP choose N-8092?
- N-8092 is produced at a higher minimum density (40% more) than N-8094 (8092 = 1.20 g/cc or 75 lbs./cu.ft. min. versus 8094 = 0.87 g/cc or 54 lbs/cu.ft. min).
- N-8092 has a tighter pore structure that will resist permeation of fluids much better than N-8094.
- N-8092 seals oil at almost half the required load needed to seal N-8094 at the same gasket thickness and flange load.
- N-8092’s sealabilty performance in a pressurized gas environment is more than 2 x better than N-8094.
- N-8092 resists creep better than N-8094 to provide better bolt load retention over time. Higher joint tightness = longer- term sealing durability.
Gasket Material
All materials are treated with an anti-stick coating on both sides to better protect the gasket and the machine itself.
