High-quality Compressed Asbestos Fiber (CAF) gasket sheets for reliable sealing in various industrial and agricultural applications. Offers excellent resistance to heat, pressure, and chemicals.
Compressed Asbestos Fiber (CAF) Gasket Sheet
Our Compressed Asbestos Fiber (CAF) Gasket Sheets are engineered for superior performance in demanding environments. Made from a blend of asbestos fibers and binders, these sheets provide exceptional sealing capabilities against a wide range of media including water, steam, oil, gases, and mild chemicals. Ideal for use in flanges, pumps, valves, and other equipment where a robust and durable seal is critical. Available in various thicknesses to suit your specific requirements.
Always ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the gasket. Cut the sheet to the required shape and size using appropriate tools. Tighten bolts evenly to prevent leakage. Consult equipment manuals for specific torque recommendations. Handle with care to avoid fiber release.
When selecting CAF gasket sheets, consider the operating temperature, pressure, and the type of media being sealed. Choose the appropriate thickness based on the flange design and sealing requirements. Always purchase from reputable suppliers to ensure product quality and safety compliance. For specific applications, consult with our technical team.

- What is a Compressed Asbestos Fiber (CAF) Gasket Sheet?
- A CAF Gasket Sheet is a sealing material made from a blend of asbestos fibers and binders, compressed into a sheet. It is known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, pressures, and various chemicals, making it suitable for industrial sealing applications.
- What are the primary applications of CAF Gasket Sheets?
- CAF Gasket Sheets are commonly used in flanges, pumps, valves, and other equipment in industries like power generation, chemical processing, and agriculture, where a robust and durable seal is required against steam, water, oil, and gases.
- Is it safe to handle asbestos gasket sheets?
- Handling asbestos-containing products requires strict safety precautions. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators, gloves, and eye protection. Avoid activities that could release asbestos fibers into the air, like dry cutting or grinding. Consult safety guidelines and local regulations.
- How do I choose the correct thickness for my application?
- The correct thickness depends on the specific application's pressure, temperature, and flange design. Thicker gaskets are generally used for lower pressures and uneven flanges, while thinner gaskets are suitable for higher pressures and smoother surfaces. It's best to consult your equipment's manual or our technical experts for guidance.
