GTE/SILEX full face gaskets use a 0.008″ ETP (electrolytic tin plate) low carbon steel core. The core is then laminated on two sides with a facing composed of heat resistant vermiculite and ceramic fibers chemically bonded with an NBR binder. This gasket is designed for hot gas applications where extreme heat is present. The fiber facings are mechanically bonded without the use of any adhesives, providing stability and integrity even when exposed to high heat, scrubbing, and vibration. Gasket is asbestos free. Its color is light brown.
