Specialized Graphite Sealing Gasket of Custom Thickness
For High-Vacuum Deep-Cooling Systems in Petrochemical Refineries & Heavy Industrial Plants
Products Description
Cling-Seal custom-thickness graphite gaskets are engineered specifically for high-vacuum, deep-cooling, and high-pressure operating environments in petrochemical refineries, chemical plants, and heavy industrial facilities. Built from high-purity expanded graphite with precision lamination and customizable forming, this series delivers reliable, long-term sealing performance under extreme temperature fluctuations, corrosive media, and ultra-low outgassing requirements.
Manufacturing Process
Produced from high-purity natural graphite flakes, our material undergoes chemical intercalation followed by rapid thermal expansion at 800–1000°C, creating worm-like expanded graphite with a bulk density of approximately 3 kg/m³. Without binders or chemical additives, the exfoliated graphite is compacted into rolls or sheets to achieve stable performance and carbon purity above 99%. This structure ensures excellent flexibility, thermal stability, and vacuum compatibility for critical industrial sealing systems.
Product Range
We provide a full suite of flexible graphite products for custom gasket fabrication, including:
- Expanded graphite sheets
- Graphite foil
- Graphite tape
- Graphite strips
- Graphite paper

Key Performance Benefits
-
Extreme Thermal & Vacuum Stability
Stable performance from deep-cooling cryogenic temperatures up to high-temperature service; low outgassing ideal for high-vacuum systems.
-
Superior Chemical Resistance
Resists acids, alkalis, hydrocarbons, and corrosive media commonly found in petrochemical and refining environments.
-
Strong Mechanical Reliability
High compression recovery and low stress relaxation ensure leak-free performance under pressure cycling and long-term service.
-
Custom Composite Design
Can be laminated with stainless steel or copper alloys for reinforced structural gaskets suitable for heavy-duty flanges and valves.
Typical Applications
- Dynamic shaft seals and packing rings for pumps, valves, and compressors
- Custom die-cut flange gaskets for pipelines, reactors, and pressure vessels
- High-vacuum chamber seals and thermal barriers in deep-cooling systems
- Heavy industrial seals for refineries, processing plants, and energy equipment
