AF-GL Grade X Non-Asbestos Sheeting

0.5mm £31.04 to 3mm £135.09 for 1.5mt x 1.5mt sheets

AF-GL is a branded BS7531 grade X  Non-Asbestos sheeting material produced by Gambit, the leading European gasket materials manufacturer in Poland and distributed throughout the UK by EAS Ltd.

Description

Using specially selected ingredients and composition, AF-GL BS7531 Grade X Non Asbestos Sheeting ensures high tightness of joint and resistance to a whole range of media. This includes steam, water, fuels, oils, salt solutions and weak solutions of acids and bases.

The material is based on Dupont Kevlar® aramid fibres, mineral fibres, glass fibres and fillers vulcanised with an NBR rubber binder.

The material meets the requirements of BS 7531 Grade X and the classification to DIN 28091-2 is FA-GA1-0.

Along with the BS7531 Gr X approval, the material is also approved to GOST R.

Material Identification

AF-GL is a branded material, Silver/Steel coloured on both sides with the branding and grade printed on one side.

The material has inherent non-stick properties from a surface layer introduced during the manufacturing process.

For traceability purposes, each sheet is also batch stamped.

Usage

With it’s unique composition, the material features a high resistance during operation in steam. It is also suitable for use in water, fuels, oils, solutions of salts, weak acids and bases.

The material also has a 400°C maximum limit, and is suitable for continuous use at 340°C making it ideal for higher temperature process applications.

Availability

AF-GL is available in standard 1.5m x 1.5m sheets in 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm thicknesses.

Other options include 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm (note these are not laminated sheets – but made to thickness). Larger  1.5m x 3m sheets can also be supplied to order.

For special production runs (typically mixed thickness of 600kgs plus) we are able to colour the material to your choice and also supply the sheeting unbranded.

Wire reinforcement is also available in this material – the identification for this AF-GL-W – the W suffix denoting wire (see relevant product). For steel reinforced sheeting, there is a surcharge of £18.00 per sheet 1.5mt x 1.5mt.

For additional Mica Anti-Stick, there is an extra £3.00 per sheet and where Graphite Anti-Stick is required, also an extra £3.00 per sheet. These are typically supplied on production of approx 2 weeks.

Cross Reference to equivalent materials

In general equivalent materials will work in the same environments, different material densities will result in different bolting pressures and gasket stresses. If changing materials in situations where materials are working at their extremes, we always suggest alternatives are tested – but we are happy to provide information for particular applications and test where necessary on your behalf.
