What are Garlock gasket sheets
Garlock gasket sheets are high-performance sealing materials engineered for demanding industrial environments. They are designed to provide reliable sealing under exposure to chemicals, temperature variations, and mechanical stress.
These gasket sheets are typically composed of fiber-reinforced compounds bonded with elastomeric or PTFE-based binders, depending on the chemical and thermal requirements of the application. As a result, Garlock gasket material is widely used in sectors where conventional gaskets may fail.
When to use Garlock gasket material
Garlock gasket material is suitable for use in flange sealing applications that involve aggressive media, elevated temperatures, or high internal pressures. It is especially relevant in installations where long-term sealing performance is critical to process continuity and safety.
Use cases include environments with strict emission standards, corrosion-sensitive operations, or where system downtime must be minimised.
Applications of Garlock gasket material
Garlock sealing sheets are used across industries such as chemical processing, power generation, water treatment and food production. They are applied in flanges, pumps, heat exchangers and pressure vessels.
Garlock gasket sheets can be die-cut or CNC-cut into custom shapes, making them suitable for both OEM applications and maintenance operations involving custom flanges or non-standard sealing surfaces.
