Garlock Multi-Swell style 3760 gasket stops leakage in gearboxes, compressors, pumps, lube oil systems and access covers. Comprising of aramid fibres with a proprietary rubber binder, ultra-tight seal with a proprietary formulation creates additional gasket load when it comes in contact with oil or water. It is twice as compressible as standard fibre gaskets and conforms to irregular surfaces.
Features
Creates compressive load in light weight flanges in oil and water service – seals where standard gaskets won't
More universal than gaskets that swell in oil only – reduces inventory
Performs well in flanges that might crush an elastomer gasket, providing use in a wide array of applications
More compressible than standard fibre gaskets and seals with low load
Easy to cut and handle – extremely flexible, minimizes waste
Replaces vegetable fibre gaskets in many applications – won't weep, improving plant safety; and
Seals flanges in "less than perfect" conditions minimising maintenance
