Tesnit Compressed Gasket Materials - BAU 2000


bau-2000

Environment friendly gasket material with specially balanced sealing, thermal, chemical and mechanical properties allows universal application.


BAU 2000 is a superior fiber gasket material composed of aramid fibers, fillers and elastomeric binders. With a well-considered selection of ingredients significant improvements in its sealing and thermal properties and chemical resistance have been achieved. Moreover, the new material is also free of harmful nitrosoamines (certified by MRPRA) and fibers which are hazardous to human health. Additionally, when this material is subjected to higher temperatures, no significant emission of hazardous degradation products has been detected. With better sealability an important decrease of fugitive emission levels has been reached. The new material has also very good creep-relaxation properties and is in compliance with DIN 28091-2 and BS 7531 Grade X requirements.

Properties and application

 

BAU 2000 serves as a high-quality universal gasket material which can be applied for general use at a higher pressure, temperature and surface stress. BAU 2000 combines high-torque retention, chemical properties and sealability, enabling low maintenance costs and high joint safety. BAU 2000 is very suitable for the sealing of oils, fuels, gases, Freons, solvents, non-aggressive chemicals and many other media. Due to its carefully selected composition BAU 2000 can be also used in food industry and in contact with drinking water (also at high temperatures). Special surface treatment provides low adhesion of gasket on flange surfaces. BAU 2000 is suitable for demanding applications in machinery, pumps, pipelines, radiators, boilers and many different 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.
