MICA gaskets
Mica is a mineral. By its chemical composition, mica is an aluminosilicate, and by its structure a phyllosilicate. Mica is incombustible and non-aging. It is electrical and thermal insulating and withstands temperatures up to 1000° C according to the quality. Mica has an outstanding chemical resistance. All this properties makes it a gasket material for a very broad range of high temperature application.
LeaderTHERM NXT
THE NEXT GENERATION IN EXTREME TEMPERATURE SEALING
Modified phlogopite with extreme low weight loss
LeaderTHERM NXT consists of a family of modified phlogopite flake structured materials. Phogopite, an aluminiumsilicate of mineral origin, has a lamellar and non-fibrous structure representing an excellent solution at high temperatures. This material composition gives an extreme low weight loss and stable material structure at extreme high temperatures.
Therefore LeaderTHERM NXT leads to an improved tightness (low emission), a broad chemical as well as oxidation resistance.
- LeaderTHERM NXT 1000
LeaderTHERM NXT 1000 is a filler for spiral wound gaskets for critical HIGH temperature services. The gasket consists of specially treated phlogopite mica in combination with a profiled metal winding. The gasket can be supplied with/or without inner and/or outer ring. To suit specific applications, it is possible to select the metal winding and inner/outer rings
- LeaderTHERM NXT 1010
Gasket layer for critical HIGH temperature services which requires long life time and low leakage. The gasket consists of special treated phlogopite mica structured layer material in combination with a grooved Kammprofile carrier ring.
The gasket can be delivered with or without outer ring. To suit specific applications it is possible to select special materials.
- LeaderTHERM NXT 1020
LeaderTHERM NXT 1020 is gasket sheet material made of modified phlogopite with an acid proof metal foil insert made of chrome nickel steel with good sealing properties and tightness at higher temperatures.
NOVAMICA Thermex
Thermex is made of Phlogophite Mica with a stretched stainless steel metal insert (AISI 316L / 1.4404). It is the ideal choice for applications in exhaust systems, turbochargers and compressors. The material is not sensitive to differing temperatures. Novamica Thermex can be combined very well with an inner ring.
