Creates a seal preventing liquids or gases escaping to atmosphere
Creates a seal preventing liquids or gases escaping to atmosphere
Creates a seal preventing liquids or gases escaping to atmosphere
Acts as Protective a barrier to prevent crevice corrosion on piping on the alkylation units
Creates a seal preventing liquids or gases escaping to atmosphere while acting as an
insulation for pipeline
Lubricating and Blocking agent on graphite Fugitive emission packings to meet Global Low Emission Requirements (ISSO 15848 / API622 /
VDI 2440)
Chemically inert, Low friction coefficient and able to operate at High temperatures
Chemically inert, able to operate at high temperatures, low electric conductivity and ability
to seal under low stresses Chemically inert, able to operate at high temperatures, low electric conductivity and ability
to seal under low stresses Chemically inert, able to operate at high temperatures and ability to seal under low
stresses
Electric Insulation while chemically inert
Low friction coefficient, Chemical inertness ad high temperatureresistance:Reduces friction and act as blocking agents allowing the application of the high stress necessary to met the low emission
requirements on hydrocarbon valves that are responsible for more than 60% of the fugitive
emissions.
