Mica FM High

FM-HIGH® is a gasketing sheet for flat gaskets made of expanded mica, manufactured using vermiculite – a mineral-based phosphosilicate with a lamellar structure – and reinforced with a perforated AISI 316L stainless steel foil insert. FM-HIGH® retains the characteristics of lamellar vermiculite mica, which, combined with heat-resistant biosoluble fibres, NBR rubber and reinforced by the perforated AISI 316L stainless steel insert, give the product excellent thermal, chemical and mechanical resistance.

High thermal resistance: it is ideal for industrial applications requiring a robust and durable gasket, ensuring optimal performance even under the most extreme conditions. The expanded vermiculite sheets help to make the product lightweight and thermally resistant, whilst the heat-resistant biosoluble fibres further enhance its resistance to high temperatures.

Superior stability and flexibility: the perforated SS316L tanged insert provides a solid structure, whilst the vermiculite mica, combined with heat-resistant biosoluble fibres and NBR rubber, provides flexibility and resistance to external agents.

Excellent workability: easy to die-cut and CNC-cut, ensuring precision even for complex geometries.

High resistance to high temperatures: ideal for applications requiring a long-lasting airtight seal and resistance to extreme temperatures. The product’s minimal weight loss further contributes to its superior performance.

Operating temperature: Its unique chemical formulation allows for reliable use up to 950°C, ensuring strength, durability and reliability even under critical conditions.

Operating temperature: up to +950°C depending on the type of fluid and the applied load.
