Tesnit Compressed Gasket Materials - BAM 6000


bam-6000

Environment friendly gasket material with excellent resistance to steam and long-term steam sealability.


BAM 6000 is a first-rate gasket material based on a combination of aramide fibers and mineral wool fibers exonerated from classification as a carcinogen according to Note Q in EU Commission Directive 97/69/EC. The carefully selected components in this material assure that it is free of harmful nitrosoamines (certified by MRPRA). Gasket material BAM 6000 exhibits an outstanding thermal and steam resistance. When it is applied at higher temperatures no significant emission of hazardous degradation products has been detected.Low leakage rates in application additionally contribute to a significant decrease of fugitive emission levels. The new material has also excellent creep-relaxation properties, and it is likewise in compliance with DIN 28091-2 and BS 7531 Grade X requirements.

Properties and application

 

Due to its superior resistance to steam and long-term steam sealability BAM 6000 is particularly recommended for all applications where thermal cycling, saturated or overheated steam are applied, e.g. heat exchangers, boilers, radiators, steam supply, power generation, etc. Special surface treatment provides simple replacement after use, while excellent torque retention properties, good chemical properties and sealability enable low maintenance costs and high gasket safety. BAM 6000 can be also used for sealing oils, fuels, gases, Freons, solvents, non-aggressive chemicals, hot water and other media in a variety of flanged joints.

 

Surface Treatment

 

The standard version has a non-stick top and bottom layer. Additional surface treatment is generally unnecessary. Special treatment with graphite, silicone or PTFE on one or both sides is available on request.
