Environmental protection and health: The asbestos-free gasket is made of environmentally friendly materials, which eliminates the harm of asbestos to health. Long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to lung cancer and other serious diseases, and asbestos-free gaskets offer a safer alternative.
High temperature resistance: Asbestos-free gaskets perform well in high temperature resistance and can usually withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius or even higher. In contrast, traditional rubber gaskets are easy to deform or lose their sealing at high temperatures.
Corrosion resistance: Asbestos free gasket has good corrosion resistance, can resist the erosion of a variety of chemical substances, extend the service life.
Sealing performance: The asbestos-free gasket has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent the leakage of liquid or gas and improve the working efficiency of the equipment.
High mechanical strength: the asbestos-free gasket can resist the extrusion, stretching and shearing movement between flanges caused by high compressive stress.
Economy: While the initial investment may be slightly higher than traditional gaskets, asbestos-free gaskets are actually a more economical option in the long run, given their durability and long service life.
Regulatory compliance: With the strengthening of environmental regulations worldwide, such as the European Union's ELV Directive and China's "Management Measures for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances and Recyclable Utilization of Automotive Products", asbestos-free gaskets are more in line with the requirements of these regulations due to their environmental characteristics.
Technological progress: The progress of technology makes the performance of asbestos-free gaskets continue to improve, providing better sealing solutions for various industries. For example, trivalent chromium passivation technology has matured to replace traditional hexavalent chromium passivation processes, reducing environmental and health impacts.
In summary, asbestos-free gaskets show obvious advantages in environmental protection, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, sealing performance and regulatory compliance, and are ideal alternatives to traditional asbestos gaskets. With the continuous development of technology and the strengthening of environmental regulations, the application of asbestos-free gaskets will be more and more extensive.
