The suitability of gasket materials for
the application depends on a large number of
factors as shown in the digram above. Max.
temperature and pressure values cannot determine
the suitability of the application. It is always
advisable to consider these factors when
selecting a material for a particular application.
This area indicates, gasket materials are usually
suitable subject to chemical compatibility.
This area indicates, gasket materials may be
but technical support is recommended.
This area indicates, Do not install a gasket without
technical evaluation.

2. Hazard Identification
*Asbestos is listed as a confirmed human carcinogen by IARC.
See Section 11: “Toxicological Properties” for potential health effects
3. Composition / Information on Ingredients
Ratio of Ingredients
Rubber Binder <10%
Fibre <50%
Inert Inorganic Filler <40-70%
Wire Mesh <5%
4. First Aid Procedures
Eye Contact: Inert Dust, Rinse with Water.
Skin Contact: Inert dust, wash off with soap and water.
Inhalation: Asbestos is encapsulated in a casing. If asbestos dust is generated from
the product, inhalation may result in long-term health effects.
Ingestion: Inert dust, not hazardous.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable softening water, carbon dioxide, powder extinguishers, foam extinguishers
Hazards from Combustion Products In case of combustion, the same gases are produced as in
burning rubber. The following may be produced in case of
fire: Carbon monoxide; Carbon dioxide; Sulphur oxides; Nitrogen
gases (NOx); Irritating/caustic, combustible as well as toxic
Carbonation gases.
Precautions for firefighters and
Special protective equipment
Respirator and eye protection should be worn to protect
from dust, fumes and burning rubber
6. Measures to counteract accidental leakage
Fire emergency procedures: see section 5
Personal: see section 4
Environmental: No known environmental hazards.
Methods and materials for
Containment and cleaning Approved vacuum cleaners with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters
Conforming to AS3544 or equivalent should be used for cleaning areas.
Additionally in case of improper use (see section 8) fine dust may be generated. Sufficient
Exhaust air suction and filtration should be ensured.
7. Handling and storage
Care should be taken in handling as the material may contain protruding wire which may cause
Tearing. No special precautions are necessary when handling the material in its final
shape as the synthetic mineral fibres are encased in the rubber matrix. However,
As further processing of the sheets/gaskets is carried out, the potential for
fibre release exists.
Storage Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid sunlight and contact with oils and chemicals as this will shorten the shelf life. Under acceptable conditions, no deterioration can be expected for three or four years after which the product loses elasticity but does not release its fibres.
8 – Special protection
When exposed to processes that generate dust levels above 10mg\m3 (nuisance dust), use dust
collection and/or breathing dust.
9. Physical and chemical properties
Solubility (water) – insoluble
Specific gravity/density – 1.8-2.2 g/cm3
Odor – none
Appearance – flat or roll
