Metal Foil Inserted Graphite Sheet – Premium Marine Grade Jointing Material

Metal foil inserted graphite sheets are engineered for demanding marine sealing applications. Also known as reinforced graphite gasket sheets, they combine high-purity flexible graphite with a perforated stainless steel foil core, offering exceptional resistance to high temperatures, pressure, and aggressive media commonly found aboard ships.

These sheets are ideal for cutting gaskets for flanges, valve covers, pump housings, heat exchangers, and exhaust systems. Their dual-layer design ensures a tight, reliable seal while allowing easy handling and die-cutting. Widely used in ship engine rooms and auxiliary equipment, they meet the needs of ship chandlers and marine engineers requiring robust jointing materials.
