METAL JACKETED GASKETS

  • Metal Jacketed Gaskets consist of a metal exterior covering and a soft material filling.
  • The filling seal provides an unbeatable recovery capacity, while the metal exterior covering (the jacket), protects against pressure, temperature fluctuations and corrosion.
  • They are extremely useful in several types of application, particularly in heat exchangers.
