October 1981 Thank you for your interest in BLUE-GARD compressed non-asbestos gasketing. It's been less than a year since GARLOCK introduced this replacement for asbestos products and its acceptance has been quite gratifying. Like yourself, our BLUE-GARD gasketing customers of today were information seekers yesterday. But after they learned more about BLUE-GARD material, tested samples for themselves and compared its performance with asbestos, they found that BLUE-GARD compressed non-asbestos gasketing was as good or better than its GARLOCK asbestos equivalent. In order to help you in your gasketing decisions, we're enclosing information which you'll find to be very useful. BLUE-GARD gasketing bulletin describing the product and its operating characteristics. BLUE-GARD Material Test Report showing the results of laboratory testing of its physical properties. Sample request. Simply return the postage-paid business reply card for your free test sample of BLUE-GARD gasketing. Summarization of Proven Case Histories. We think this package of useful information will convince you to switch to asbestos-free BLUE-GARD gasketing. But if you're not. then I urge you to call us collect with your ques tions. Just ask for Clay Jewett, BLUE-GARD Marketing Manager. at 315/597-4811. Clay is at our Palmyra, New York office and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. One more thing. In reviewing the enclosed information, pay particular attention to the sealabihty of BLUE-GARD gasketing versus asbestos. Note how much better it is. And, after all is said and done, isn't sealability the real strength of a gasketing material? Very truly yours. Vice P'esicem.

CRITERIA AND OUR OWN STRINGENT FUNCTIONAL TEST PARAMETERS. The values shown on the attached report are typical of results obtained in a series of tests conducted over a period of months...all material tested was manufactured using normal production equipment and procedures. GARLOCK Style 900 gasketing was first introduced in the late 1890's...GARLOCK Style 7021 gas keting in the late 1930's. Both products have provided outstanding service, therefore, have earned world-wide acceptance. When we were first asked by a number of our customers to provide non asbestos alternatives for asbestos gasketing, our goal was to develop products as close to the physi cal properties as possible of Styles 900 and 7021 gasketing...we were not optimistic! After two years of development effort, followed by the introduction of GARLOCK BLUE-GARD Style 3000 gasketing late in 1980. we have a product that is equal to or better than our premium grade asbestos Styles 900 and 7021. in a number of significant ways . . . SEALABILITY...CREEP RELAXATION...RECOVERY...COMPRESSIBILITY...FLUID RESISTANCE Looking at SEALABILITY in the attached report...we tested not only in Iso-Octane, but also in Stod dard Solvent and Nitrogen Gas. Why?These fluids are very difficult to seal...better results here can mean more effective sealing against other fluids. We have compared GARLOCK BLUE-GARD Style 3000 gasketing with other manufacturers' non asbestos compressed ana beater aadition products. Our test results show our SEALABILITY in Nitrogen Gas to be: Five (5) times better than Competitor "A"! - Forty-two (42) times better than Competitor `B"l One-hundred (100) times better than Competitor "C"! Six-hundred twenty-five (625) times better than Competitor "D"! continued on reverse side i . Colt Industries @ Garioek Mecnamcai Packing Oivision Industrial Packing. 1666 Division Street. Palmyra.

Its fiber content is acrylic, bound by nitrile. More than two years in development and time proven since its introduction in late 1980, BLUE-GARD gasketing is a solid replacement for standard compressed asbestos gasketing. GARLOCK BLUE-GARD gasketing can be safely installed in most static sealing applications as a universal replacement gasket. It meets a wide variety of service conditions in the hostile environ ments of metalworking, hydrocarbon processing, pulp and paper, power generation, mining, trans portation. food processing and other industries where effective sealing is vital. GARLOCK BLUE-GARD gasketing is formulated for severe service involving higher pressures and temperatures. It is especially useful where heavy flanges and high bolt loads are commonly found, such as in steam lines and cylinder heads. It can be used for general service against mild acids, alkalies, gases, oil. solvents and refrigerants. GARLOCK BLUE-GARD gasketing withstands pH range 1--11. and temperature resistance to +371C (+700F). GARLOCK Style 3000 gasketing is avail able in sheets in thicknesses of 1/64". 1/32", 3/64". 1/16". 3/32". and 1/8". And sheet sizes of 60" x 60" and 60" x 120". r" 'patent pendrnq GARLOCK.
