New Hydro-fused®, metal-core gasket material seals hot gases in high-stress applications A new gasket material called EnCore™ HTX-900 lets us offer our customer's non-asbestos, Hydro-fused®, metal-core gaskets for dynamically and thermally stressed joints in assemblies with high-temperature gases. EnCore HTX-900 consists of two graphite-coated sheets of a heat-resistant fiber/NBR blend, chemically and mechanically fused to an expanded steel core. This combination offers excellent sealing performance and load retention as well as exceptional chemical resistance and structural strength. Graphite in color, EnCore HTX-900 exhibits clean-release characteristics upon joint disassembly. Since it is formulated principally to seal against hot gases, HTX-900 performs well in exhaust manifolds and collectors, EGR systems and other industrial, transportation and recreational applications that require high strength, thermal integrity and non-stick performance.
