About Champion Style AF120 Metallic
Champion Style AF120 Mettalic is general
purpose Asbestos-Free (AF) Jointing sheet. It is
comprised of compressed aramid fibres and
bonded with a combination of other functional
fibres with a nitrile rubber binder with wire
re-inforcement to create matrix of stability &
anti-stick properties- which minimises adhesion of
the gasket to flange surfaces even at elevated
temperatures, resulting in reduced removal time
This grade is produced in Graphited Black color
Superior Material ConstructionCrafted from high-quality compressed aramid fibres bonded with nitrile rubber and reinforced with metal wire, the Champion Style AF120 Metallic delivers combined strength and flexibility. Its construction ensures excellent resistance to high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, and extreme mechanical stress, making it a preferred choice in industrial gasket sheet applications.
Excellent Mechanical and Thermal PropertiesThis gasket sheet is engineered to withstand intense operating conditions, featuring a tensile strength of 10,000 KPa and the capability to perform at temperatures up to 250C. The dielectric strength of 10 N/mm2 further enhances its reliability in critical environments, ensuring lasting protection and consistent sealing performance.
FAQ's of Champion Style AF120 Metallic:
Q: How should the Champion Style AF120 Metallic sheet be installed for optimal performance?
A: To achieve optimal sealing performance, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free from debris before installing the sheet. Use proper cutting tools to achieve accurate dimensions and avoid over-tightening to maintain its structural integrity.
Q: What applications is the Champion Style AF120 Metallic best suited for?
A: This product is ideally used in industrial sealing applications where high mechanical strength, temperature resistance up to 250C, and electrical insulation are required. Common uses include flange gaskets and machinery seals in the petrochemical, power generation, and processing industries.
Q: When is it advantageous to select a gasket sheet with wire reinforcement like this one?
A: Wire reinforcement provides additional mechanical strength and stability, making it advantageous in high-pressure or high-vibration environments where extra durability is essential for maintaining effective seals.
Q: Where can the Champion Style AF120 Metallic be used safely?
A: It can be used safely in environments requiring robust gasket materials, such as factories, power plants, and chemical processing facilities. Its resistance to high temperatures and chemicals makes it versatile across various industrial sectors.
Q: What benefits does the nitrile rubber binder provide to this product?
A: The nitrile rubber binder enhances the gasket sheet's resistance to oils, fuels, and a wide range of chemicals, while also maintaining flexibility and improving sealing reliability under variable operating conditions.
Q: How does the dielectric strength of 10 N/mm2 impact its application?
A: A dielectric strength of 10 N/mm2 ensures the sheet can effectively insulate against electrical currents, making it suitable for use in applications where both mechanical sealing and electrical isolation are required.
