Thermodynamics Style 8000T with perforated stainless steel sheet inserted is easy to handle. It has a low permeability to gases, and is impermeable to liquids.

It has a low diffusion rates, high blow-out resistance and high mechanical strength. Because of its natural form, Style 8000T has got good scratch resistance, and is a good 'anti-stick' agent on all flanges.

It can be used in air from the lowest temperature up to 550^°C.

Good resistance to chemicals and has good shear strength coupled with good resistance to thermal shock.

Operating pressure is extend to 220bar (3234psi.)

For more details on the expanded mineral graphite specifications, please refer to Thermodynamics style 7000.

Multiple steel inserted sheets are available on request.
