Non-asbestos gaskets have become the favorite choice in several industries due to their advantages over traditional asbestos gaskets. Here are the top 6 reasons why you should start using them:
- Removal of cancer risks
Asbestos is a proven carcinogenic material, and its prolonged exposure is associated with diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Non-asbestos gaskets, being free of asbestos, protect the workers' health and avoid serious occupational health risks. - Longer working life
Non-asbestos gaskets generally offer a longer service life compared to asbestos gaskets. This is due to their better resistance to heat, chemicals and aging, which reduces the need for frequent replacements and associated costs. - Top sealing
It can provide a tighter, more reliable seal than asbestos gaskets, minimizing leakage and preventing equipment failure. - Higher resistance
Non-asbestos gaskets are designed to handle higher pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for a wider range of applications. - Regulatory compliance
Environmental regulations in many countries restrict or prohibit the use of asbestos, so non-asbestos gaskets are an option that complies with regulations and avoids legal problems. - Eco-friendly material
Manufactured with non-toxic and recyclable materials, which reduces their environmental impact compared to asbestos gaskets.
In summary, non-asbestos gaskets represent a significant breakthrough in the sealing industry, offering a safe, reliable, sustainable and high-performance solution. Its extensive use contributes to protecting people's health, the environment and the operational efficiency of industries.
For this reason, Euroflex has the authorized representation of the Hypersil brand from India, with a range of non-asbestos gaskets according to the needs required by the national industry.
