Hastelloy Gaskets

Hastelloy gaskets are superior sealing products manufactured from Hastelloy, a nickel-molybdenum alloy with high resistance to corrosion, heat, and stress. These gaskets are applied in chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation industries among others where standard materials cannot withstand the conditions. Hastelloy gaskets offer a high level of sealing capability and this means that there are few cases of leakage or failure particularly in corrosive or high pressure services. Due to their high chemical stability these materials are suitable for use in situations where they are likely to be exposed to aggressive chemical reactions for long periods of time, particularly in industries involving the use of concentrated acids, oxidizing agents and reducing conditions.

Advantages of Hastelloy Gaskets

These flexible Hastelloy Gaskets offer numerous benefits for industrial applications.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Hastelloy gaskets provide excellent resistance to a variety of aggressive chemicals such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acids.
•  High-Temperature Stability: Hastelloy gaskets can resist up to 1000°C of heat making them suitable for use in high temperature applications.
•  Long-Term Durability: Oxidation, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking resistant, thus making it possible to provide long service without frequent replacement.
•  Chemical Compatibility: Hastelloy gaskets are suitable for use in both reducing and oxidising conditions which makes it suitable for use in a number of industries.
• High-Pressure Resistance: Hastelloy gaskets is ideal for high pressure applications and minimize chances of leakage and blow out in sensitive operations.
• Versatile Design Options: Hastelloy gaskets come in various shapes, sizes, and forms to fit sealing needs in various uses.
• Enhanced Safety: Minimizes the chances of dangerous leaks in chemical plants, oil refineries and other sensitive processes, thus making the environment safe for workers.
• Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While the Hastelloy gaskets are more costly than the standard ones, they are more cost effective in the long run since they do not wear out as quickly and thus require replacement less often.
• Resistance to Thermal Cycling: Resistant to heat and cold cycles meaning that they will be suitable for environments that are characterized by fluctuating temperatures.

Hastelloy Gaskets offer several advantages that make them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
