The TEADIT ELECTRON™ GS gasket included in this kit is made of a compressed fiber sheet, consisting of NBR binders, Aramid fiber and fillers. Its construction enables it to meet both electrical isolation and sealability requirements in industrial pipes. This product was developed for low demand applications such as water (potable, sea or residual) pipelines, and liquid hydrocarbons with low levels of chemical aggression. This gasket offers better performance than the phenolic resin gaskets often recommended in such processes.
