Grade 30A For low to medium pressure oil sealing applications. This grade has relatively high poros-
ity, which aids seal face lubrication.
Grade 38 For low to medium pressure applications. Grade 38 is relatively easy to mold and is most
economical in many applications.
Grade 39 A universal grade for use in high pressure applications. Can be used to seal almost any
medium except very strong oxidizing or alkaline agents. Grade 39 is the hardest of all
GRAPHITAR grades, with a scleroscope reading of 105.
Grade 70 Similar in many respects to grade 38, this grade will also perform well in non-lubricated
service such as sealing air.
Grade 86 A universal grade for lubricated or non-lubricated service. Grade 86 offers excellent
compressive strength, an extremely low porosity and excellent wear resistance.
Grade 114 A very strong, hard grade which is resistant to any chemical in which GRAPHITAA can
function at all. Frequently used in sealing gasses.
Grade 2690 A high temperature material for seal applications which exceed 700F. Grade 2690 is
used almost exclusively for sealing high temperature gasses.
Grade 3048 Superior for aircraft engine main shaft seals. Combines excellent lubricity with good
oxidation resistance for long service life.

NEXTEL 312 Ceramic Fibers are continuous polycrystalline metal oxide fibers suitable for producing textiles
without the aid of other fiber or metal inserts. Nextel fabrics, tapes and sleevings are exceptional, high temperature
products designed to meet the toughest thermal and electrical performance requirements and to offer performance
far beyond the useful limits of other high temperature textiles.
Individual fibers of NEXTEL 312 are transparent, smooth and continuous. NEXTEL 312 Fibers, in terms of their
metal oxides are (by weight) 62% aluminum oxide (AlsOs), 14% boron oxide (BsOs), and 24% silicon dioxide
(SiOs).
The effects of metals on NEXTEL 312 Fabric heated in air at 2000F are shown below. The metals which cause
attack (molten copper and tin) are extremely reactive at test temperature. Most common metals, however, have no
effect on NEXTEL 312 Fibers. The effects of chemicals on NEXTEL 312 Fibers after exposure to 10% chemical
baths (room temperature) are also shown.

ABRESIST is a mineral material, a silicate with a high compressive strength and a high modulus of elasticity, with
extreme resistance to abrasion, whereby a certain sensitivity to impact is also present. In addition to its abrasion
resistance, fused cast basalt does not rust and thus always presents a smooth sliding surface. Even after an idle period
in a wet transportation system, clogging and plug formation are largely eliminated.

A totally inorganic borosilicate foamed glass block containing no binders, PENNGUARD Block offers excebtional
resistance to most acids, solvents and weak bases, and over a temperature range up to 960F (516C). It is control-
manufactured as a 100% closed-celled, foamed glass block, impervious to acidic liquids and gases, is extremely light-
weight, and possesses low thermal conductivity values even under completely acidic liquid operating exposures while
its low coefficient of thermal expansion provides high resistance to thermal shock. PENNGUARD Block does not
support combustion and can be used alone or in combination with refractory or chemically-resistant masonry/
monolithic linings at higher temperatures to provide a unique combination of acid corrosion protection and heat
conservation. The block is installed in a manner similar to a chemically-resistant masonry lining, utilizing special
mortar or an adhesive/membrane to fully bond the block to the substrate and to fully side joint between adjacent
block.

The glass coating of the GLASTEEL composite is a non-conductive mixture of low energy oxides that can corrode
only by a self-limiting ion exchange reaction (acids) or by direct chemical solution (alkalis). Consequently, the cor-
rosion rates of GLASTEEL can be accurately measured and valid predictions of service life can be made.
Acid Resistance
Outstanding acid resistance under extreme process conditions is a primary feature of Pfaudler GLASTEEL. The
charts which follow can be regarded as reliable quantitative laboratory data on the corrosion resistanceof GLASTEEL
5000 in five common reagent-grade acid solutions (liquid phase). Chart data are presented in terms of glass loss ex-
pressed in millimeters per year. Average Pfaudler glass thickness is approximately 1 to 2.25 mm (40 to 90 mils) on
reactors, high voltage tested. Therefore, approximate years of anticipated service life may be estimated from the
charts.
