What Sets This Material Apart

SBR is the binder to specify when evaluating a replacement. The manufacturer also highlights superior torque retention for assembled gaskets.

Recommendations for Replacement Evaluations

For saturated steam applications, verify the minimum assembly stress and operating service conditions. Do not extrapolate to aggressive media or oils.

To compare constructions: Garlock BLUE-GARD 3400 and Garlock Utility Grade 2920. These sheet materials utilize an SBR binder, but their mechanical properties and service limits may vary.
