Neoprene Faced Phenolic
The neoprene faced phenolic material is high performance composite sealing and insulating materials designed to meet specific needs, primarily in the Oil and Gas distribution industries. The products incorporate a phenolic core with chemically bonded Neoprene face. Conventional materials can cause problems due to either with being too soft to withstand the compressive forces of the mating surfaces or too hard to form a satisfactory seal. This combined with high compressive strength of the core eliminate the compression effects normally associated with softer materials. The gasket acts as electrical insulation between the mating surfaces reducing electrolytic effects, which can lead to corrosion.
