Styles 2550 and 2551 crinkled flexible graphite tape are made from high purity graphite with no fibers, binders or other additives. Style 2550 crinkled tape is typically used as a stuffing box packing for pumps and valves. Style 2551 is the same as 2550 except that it is furnished with a self-adhesive backing strip to facilitate installation as a form-in-place gasket, thread sealant, or for facing jacketed and other difficult-to-seal gaskets.
Styles 2550 and 2551 flexible graphite covers a broad range of sealing applications. It handles most chemicals in the 0 - 14 pH range at cryogenic and elevated temperatures, and from vacuum to extreme pressures. It is used extensively in the chemical, automotive and pump and valve industries.
