C-4500 — Premium High-Temperature / High-Pressure Gasket Material

C-4500 is a premium-grade gasket sheet designed especially for the chemical and pulp & paper industries. The material combines carbon fibres and special heat-resistant additives with an NBR binder to deliver strong sealability, dimensional stability and resistance to alkaline and steam environments. Use C-4500 where general-purpose non-asbestos sheets are not sufficient and a higher temperature/pressure capability is needed.

Description

C-4500 is a premium-grade gasket sheet designed especially for the chemical and pulp & paper industries. The material combines carbon fibres and special heat-resistant additives with an NBR binder to deliver strong sealability, dimensional stability and resistance to alkaline and steam environments. Use C-4500 where general-purpose non-asbestos sheets are not sufficient and a higher temperature/pressure capability is needed.

Key benefits


  • High temperature & steam capability — developed for superheated steam and elevated temperature alkaline media.

  • Carbon-fibre reinforcement — improved mechanical strength and stability under heavy flange loads.

  • NBR binder for oil/chemical resistance — good resistance to a wide range of process fluids including many hydrocarbon and alkaline media.

  • Suitable for high-pressure service — premium, high-pressure grade for demanding industrial joints.

  • Easier fabrication & reliable sealing — can be cut on site and provides predictable behaviour under bolt load.

Applications & industries


  • Flange gaskets for steam, alkaline process lines and other high-temperature pipelines.

  • Chemical processing plants, pulp & paper mills, power plants and other industrial installations requiring steam/alkaline resistance.

  • Pumps, compressors, heat exchangers and valve flanges operating at elevated temperatures and pressures.

Why choose C-4500?


Choose C-4500 when your application demands more than a general-purpose sheet — when high pressure, alkaline resistance and steam service are part of the duty. Its carbon-fibre composition and heat-resistant additives give superior mechanical strength and stability under flange load, while the NBR binder supports broad chemical compatibility. For plants and maintenance teams that face aggressive alkaline or high-temperature steam conditions, C-4500 reduces the risk of premature gasket failure and helps maintain uptime.
