Braided Flexible Graphite delivers no aging, hardening or embrittlement over time, excellent thermal conductivity and fire resistance. It resists most chemicals across the pH range, steam, and fire exposure. Exposure to strong oxidizing acids or highly oxidizing service above rated temperature will shorten service life.

Common environments for this compound include steam and heat transfer systems, refining, and high-temperature process piping.

11710312-05 ships individually. Unit weight is approximately 5 lb. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
