Durlon 8700
Durlon 8700 is a high performance gasket material for use in process requiring a neoprene (CR) bonded sheet such as refrigeration services. This product has excellent resistance to ozone, oils, non-aromatic solvents and many refrigerants.
- Aramid/Inorganic with CR Rubber Binder
- Compressed Asbestos Free Gasket Material
- ASTM F104: F712330-A9B5E45K5L153M5
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.
