What Sets This Material Apart

Garlock describes a manufacturing process using purified exfoliated graphite, featuring a homogenous construction for certain thicknesses and a laminated structure for others. The selected thickness can alter the material's internal architecture.

Recommendations for a Replacement Assessment

Identify the composition of the existing sheet, its thickness, and the applicable mechanical loads. For high-temperature service, take into account both the process atmosphere and potential oxidation.

To compare constructions: Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3125 and TEADIT GP 1520. Graphite purity, surface treatments, and service limits in oxidizing environments represent critical performance criteria.
