Durlon® 5000 is a commercial grade compressed sheet gasket material for moderate service conditions. It is suitable for a continuous operating temperature of 450°F (232°C); or a maximum pressure of 1000 psi (69 bar) at ambient temperature. It is suitable for steam, oil, water, mild alkalis and acids, hydrocarbons and solvents.
Durlon® 5000 contains high strength mineral fibers bonded with nitrile (NBR) synthetic rubber. A release agent on both sides provides good anti-stick properties.

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.
