Durlon 8400
Durlon 8400 can be used in process piping and equipment in chemical, pulp and paper and other general industrial applications. With an extremely wide pH application range (2-13 at room temp). A unique high-performance compressed sheet, Durlon® 8400 is an excellent gasket material for use in steam, mild caustics and acids in Class 150 and 300 services.
- Phenolic Fibre with NBR Rubber Binder
- Compressed Asbestos Free Gasket Material
- ASTM F104: F712120-A9B4E22K5L911M5
Warning: Durlon® gasket materials should never be recommended when both temperature and pressure are at the maximum listed. Properties and applications stated are typical. No applications should be undertaken by anyone without independent study and evaluation for suitability. Never use more than one gasket in one flange joint and never reuse a gasket. Improper use or gasket selection could cause property damage and/or serious injury. Data reported is a compilation of field testing, field service reports and/or in-house testing. While the utmost care has gone into publishing the information contained herein, we assume no responsibility for errors. Specifications and information contained in this flyer are subject to change without notice. This edition cancels and obsoletes all previous editions.
