Non-asbestos refers to gaskets made without asbestos fibers, which were previously used extensively in gasket production. Non-asbestos gaskets are made of a variety of materials such as aramid, carbon fiber, fiberglass, and synthetic rubber. These materials are chosen for their high-temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and ability to withstand high-pressure applications.
Non-asbestos gaskets are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, chemical processing plants, and in other industries where high-temperature and high-pressure applications are common. Non-asbestos gaskets are also preferred due to their environmental and health safety concerns, as they do not contain hazardous asbestos fibers that can pose a health risk.
