Durlon^® Extreme Temperature Gaskets (ETG) are engineered to deliver exceptional sealing performance in environments with temperatures from 650°C (1,200°F) up to 1,000°C (1,832°F). These gaskets are specifically designed to maintain flange assembly torque, ensuring a tight and reliable seal even under the most extreme conditions.

Durlon® ETG combines oxidation-resistant materials with the proven stability of flexible graphite. The gasket’s design includes strategic oxidation protection zones that surround a central graphite core. This innovative approach significantly reduces oxidation, extending the life of the seal and preserving its integrity at high temperatures.

To further enhance durability, Durlon® ETG incorporates Durlon® HT1000®, a mica-phyllosilicate-based sealing material that provides an additional layer of protection. This material offers superior weight retention and exceptional performance in extreme temperature environments.

Durlon® ETG is the preferred choice for industries such as mining, power generation, heavy industry, marine, refining, and chemical processing, offering a reliable and long-lasting solution for high-temperature sealing challenges.

The primary metals industry is integral to the global economy, driving essential sectors such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, and energy. This industry is focused on extracting, refining, and processing raw materials to produce crucial base metals like iron, steel, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and nickel. These metals are the backbone of manufacturing, powering the production of automobiles, aircraft, appliances, infrastructure, packaging materials, and electrical equipment.

Steel manufacturers, for instance, depend on iron ore and other metals to produce steel, which is foundational to constructing buildings, bridges, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Aluminum producers similarly supply critical materials for the aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery industries.

The primary metals industry is also closely linked with energy production and transportation sectors. Metals are indispensable in the creation of power generation systems, including turbines, pipelines, and electrical transmission infrastructure. They are equally vital in the manufacturing of vehicles—ranging from automobiles to ships and aircraft—underscoring their importance in transportation and logistics.

In this context, Durlon® plays a pivotal role by offering a versatile range of gaskets. These gaskets are essential in heavy and general industrial mechanical systems, ensuring proper sealing, preventing leaks, and maintaining the integrity of critical mechanical components across these diverse sectors.
