DURLON® 8400
Phenolic Fiber with NBR Rubber Binder
COMPRESSED SHEET GASKET MATERIAL
ASTM F104: F712120-A9B4E22K5L911M5


APPLICATION:

With an extremely wide pH application range, DURLON® 8400 can be used in process piping and equipment in chemical, pulp and paper, and other general industrial applications.  A unique high-performance compressed sheet DURLON® 8400 is an excellent gasket material for use in steam, mild caustics and acids in Class 150 and 300 service.

COMPOSITION:
DURLON® 8400 contains high temperature phenolic fibers and minerals combined with high-grade Nitrile NBR rubber. It exibits higher temperature limits than aramid based materials and the handling and cutting characteristics are greatly improved over carbon and glass fiber products.

ANTI-STICK PROPERTIES:
Much effort has gone into improving the anti-stick release agents of all compressed DURLON® products.  All DURLON® compressed gasket materials have passed the MIL-G-24696B Navy Adhesion Test (366°F/48 hrs).

pH RANGE:

 DURLON® 8400 has a pH application range of 2 to 13 at room temperature, the widest any compressed sheet gasket material produced today. This makes DURLON® 8400 especially suitable in pulp and paper, and chemical plant applications.

Note: ASTM properties based on 1/16" sheet thickness except ASTM F38, which is based on 1/32" sheet thickness. This is a general guide only and should not be the sole means of accepting or rejecting this material. The data listed here falls within the normal range of product properties but should not be used to establish specification limits nor used alone as the basis of design.

Warning: Durlon gasket materials should never be recommended when both the temperature and the pressure are at the maximums listed.  Properties and applications shown are typical.  No application should be undertaken by anyone without independent study and evaluation for suitability. Never use more than one gasket in one flange joint, and never reuse a gasket.  Improper use or gasket selection could cause property damage and/or serious personal injury.  The data reported is a compilation of field testing, field service reports and/or in-house testing.  While the utmost care has gone into publishing the information contained herein, we assume no responsibility for errors.  The information and specifications  contained in this website are subject to change without notice.
