AP Services, a product and service brand of Curtiss-Wright, has state-of-the-art gasket manufacturing technology using CNC driven water jet cutters. Style 300 is a high quality, compressed fiber sheet designed for extreme service. Carbon and graphite fibers combined with a heat-resistant, nitrile binder allow for high temperature service. Because of this sheets excellent physical property, it is widely used in the power generation industry due to its high temperature capabilities as well as resistance to oils and solvents. Has excellent resistance against steam and strong alkalis.
Style 300 can be used for sealing water, steam, fuels, lubricants, alkalis, and weak acids, seeing maximum temperatures to 800º F and maximum pressures to 1450 PSI. Continuous operating temperature 552 ºF.
The Pressure x Temperature Factor for Style 300 1/16” is 600,000 max.
Style 300 is available in sheets and pre-cut gaskets.
