What Sets This Material Apart

The compressible outer layers conform to imperfect sealing surfaces, while the rigid core enhances handling. The design specifically targets low-bolt-load assemblies.

Recommendations for Replacement Evaluations

Measure the available bolt load, surface finish, and flange irregularities prior to selecting this material.

To compare configurations: Garlock GYLON 3540 and Garlock GYLON 3565. These grades are engineered to optimize conformability on sensitive flanges. However, their construction and compressive strength differ.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

GYLON 3540 is also microcellular; however, the rigid core design and superior bolt-load retention of the 3545 serve as key performance differentiators.
