3R835

Oil proof sheet packing

The 3R835 consists of a cellulose fiber base which has been impregnated with a protein and glycerine binder. It has exceptionally good sealing properties and is highly conformable to compensate for distortions in flanges. This material is chemically inert in the presence of petroleum lubricating oils, automotive gasoline, diesel fuels, heating oils and many organic solvents. It contains an antimicrobial compound to resist fungus organisms. It possesses excellent sealing properties and adapts well to uneven flanges.
