KLINGERSIL® C-4408
Universal high-pressure gasket material for industrial applications
KLINGERSIL® C-4408 is a universal high-pressure gasket material for industrial applications. This material has a low-carbon steel woven mesh insert that improves stress relaxation and makes this material suitable for fluctuating temperatures and pressures.
C-4408 has good resistance to oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons.
This material is manufactured with aramid fiber reinforced with a nitrile binder.

In area 1 the gasket material is suitable using common installment practices subject to chemical compatibility
In area 2 appropriate measures are necessary for installation of the gasket to ensure maximum performance. Please call or refer to KLINGERexpert for assistance.
In area 3 do not install gaskets in these applications without first referring to KLINGERexpert or contacting KLINGER Thermoseal's technical support service.

The ability of a gasket to make and maintain a seal depends not only on the style and quality of the gasket material, but also on medium being sealed, the flange design, the amount of pressure applied to the gasket by the bolts and how the gasket is assembled onto the flanges and tightened. These factors are beyond the manufacturer's control. Please take note of our installation manual in TECHNICAL RESOURCES.
