Paper jointing

Flexoid Paper

Flexoid Paper is a cellulose based soft jointing material used for sealing against petrol, oil and water. It is manufactured by special impregnation with platised gelatine and other chemicals to achieve excellent oil and fuel resistant properties.

Flexoid Paper is suitable for a variety of automotive applications where the sealing is required with uneven and light sealing loads. Generally used in Carburettors, Fuel Pumps, Front Plate, Oil Pumps, Oil Filter, Side Cover, Timing Cover, Thermostat, Water Pump, Gear Box Covers, Axle Covers, Hub Caps etc. It has limited usage against steam, alkalies and chemicals

Bestobell High Grade

Sheet gasketing is made of 100% expanded P.T.F.E. using a special process that produces a uniform and highly fibrillated multidirectional microstructure. This creates a soft and  pliable, yet very tough gasket that has excellent resistance to compression, creep relaxation and cold flow. Suitable for un-even damaged flanges. Possesses resistance against common chemicals, except melted alkali metal, fluorine in liquid and gas state. It is free from asbestos and meets the FDA requirements, anti-corrosive and unlimited shelf life.
