The next generation in extreme temperature sealing is already here, from Leader, LeaderTHERM.

 

Extreme temperatures place exceptional stresses on sealing solutions. Graphite gaskets in particular can be attacked by oxidation, leading to leakage and seal failure. But the new LeaderTHERM NXT solves the problems of extreme temperature sealing, with a family of modified phlogopite flake structured materials, offering a number of special qualities.

 

Phlogopite is an aluminium silicate with extremely low weight loss and a stable material structure. So even at temperatures as high as 1000°C, and high pressures, gaskets made from this material retain effective tightness.

Oxidation- and chemical-resistant, non-combustible and non-ageing, LeaderTHERM NXT is a sustainable solution that’s ideal for use across a wide range of applications. From gas boilers to catalyst cracking systems, and across industries from chemical processing to automotive, the LeaderTHERM NXT can take the heat.
