Dear Mr. Kautzt
Plea*a refar to your lattar of October 26. 1978. I am replying to that part of your requeet which concern* gaskets and asbestos ahaat. The remainder of your Inquiry ha* bean referred to our Compression Packing Division.
At the present time, our recommended substitute for asbestos aa outlined in your drawings, would be Graph-Lock1TM. I am enclosing a aample of this purs graphite sheet for your evaluation.
To give you an example of pricing, a Graph-LockTM ring gasket with the dimensions of 2-3/8** x 4-1/8" x 1/16" would have a net price of $3.30 each.
I hope this information will be of some value to you. Thank you for your interest in our products.
Sincerely.
