Paper Gaskets: Custom Cut to Your Drawing
Hollinbrow manufactures paper gaskets cut to your drawing from gasket paper, compressed fibre, aramid paper, polyester film and electrical insulation papers, using laser cutting and die cutting. Paper gaskets seal flanged joints in gearboxes, pumps and general engineering assemblies, and insulate and space components in electrical equipment such as transformers. They are part of our wider custom gasket range.
Gasket Paper and Compressed Fibre for Paper Gaskets
Brown oil-resistant gasket paper such as Flexoid is widely used for automotive, gearbox, pump and general engineering gaskets. It is available in thin gauges and is easy to die-cut. For more demanding duties, compressed fibre sheets such as Klingersil C-4430 use aramid fibres with an NBR binder and offer higher temperature and pressure capability. Other gasket sheet brands include Klinger, Novus, Tesnit, Frenzelit and Garlock.
DuPont™ Nomex® aramid paper is available as standalone papers such as Nomex 410 and Nomex 411. See Nomex for background on the material.
Polyester Film and Flexible Insulation Laminates
Polyester film, also known as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film, is available from makers such as Hostaphan, Toray, Melinex and Mylar®, from glass clear to bright white and from 12 to 500 microns.
Electrical adhesive tapes suit most electrical applications, including adhesive Kapton®, adhesive glass, adhesive Nomex® and adhesive polyester film.
Presspapers and Vulcanised Fibre
Elephantide combines electrical strength, mechanical toughness and flexibility, and holds up under demanding conditions. Insulating kraft papers are used in transformers, aluminium conductor paper covering, DPC (double paper covered) wire, copper strip covering and power cable shielding. Pressphan resists high voltage and takes up transformer oil well, giving an oil–cellulose dielectric. Leatheroid vulcanised fibre is made by gelatinising several plies of high-purity cellulose paper, and has very high internal bond strength.
