PowerRail Distribution Inc. in a joint effort with Master Packing & Rubber
Company is pleased to offer our New Generation premium gasket material to stop ALL leaks in all Locomotive and Marine applications.
C-Swell YellowSeal is a highly compressed, solvent free, Hydro-Fused industrial OEM gasket material
manufactured exclusively for the Rail and Marine industries. Documented ASTM testing has confirmed that
C-Swell YellowSeal material offers excellent bolt torque retention, crush resistance, and resists extrusion
over a longer period of time than existing competing gasket materials. Additionally, C-Swell offers the end user a material that has a long shelf life.
C-Swell YellowSeal gaskets will stop leaks, reduce maintenance cost and most of all;
lead us to cleaner and safer locomotives for us and our environment.

ASTM F-1574, is used to determine the compressive strength characteristics or crush-extrusion resistance of various gasket materials at an elevated temperature. All specimens shown below have been tested at 149C (300F). ASTM F-1574 Standard states in Significance and Use 4.1 The compressive strength or crush-extrusion resistance of a gasket material is a major factor with regard to the selection of a given material for use in a particular sealing application. The significance of the test method is based, in part, on the assumption that material, once it has been crushed or extruded, will no longer function as effectively as a seal. Two or more materials can be compared to determine differences in their resistance to compressive stress. Materials that swell in fluid service will usually have a lower resistance to extrusion. For that reason, it is important to choose the type of base polymer that will be used as the primary binder in the manufacture of the sheet. Our C-Swell YellowSeal controlled swell sheet material is made from a highly cross-linked nitrile polymer plus a second polymer that allows for the swelling effect without degrading the primary binder. This allows for swelling to help fill irregularities in a less than perfect flange surface and hold bolt torque over a longer period of time without extrusion of the gasket.
