Flexitallic AF 2100

AF 2100 is an asbestos-free compressed sheet gasket material engineered with glass fibres and an NBR binder. It is distinguished from conventional aramid/NBR sheets by the specific nature of its fibrous reinforcement.

Our Quebec facility manufactures custom-cut flat gaskets to your exact specifications. VAMECA can also evaluate the supply of this part number or engineer a suitable replacement.

Composition and Mechanical Properties

AF 2100 is an asbestos-free compressed sheet manufactured with glass fibres and an NBR binder. It differs from aramid/NBR sheets due to the nature of its fibrous reinforcement. Technical data indicates independent maximum ratings of 475°C and 140 bar, along with 18% compressibility, 68% recovery, and a density of 1.6 g/cm³. Test methods and thermal cycling must be evaluated within the specific installation context.

Sheet Applications

Product documentation specifies this grade for general chemical processing facilities, featuring relatively high compressibility and a catalogued thermal range exceeding several general-service aramid sheets. Gasket thickness and bolt load requirements must be verified under actual operating conditions.

Material Selection and Replacement

Compare against inorganic fibre/NBR sheet materials while maintaining oxidation resistance requirements, continuous operating temperatures, and target bolt loads. Legacy catalogue data does not constitute current engineering certification. Maximum pressure and temperature ratings cannot be applied concurrently, particularly under severe thermal cycling.

Comparable materials to evaluate: Garlock High-Temp 5500 and TEADIT NA1122. These comparisons do not validate direct drop-in substitution.
