Non-Asbestos Gaskets
Key Properties
- Thickness
- Asbestos-free, safe alternative
- Excellent mechanical strength
- Low creep relaxation
- Broad chemical resistance
Why specify Non-Asbestos for gaskets?
When equipment built before the asbestos transition needs replacement gaskets, the modern specification is compressed non-asbestos fiber (CNAF). Cannon Gasket cuts custom non-asbestos gaskets to your existing flange drawings or to samples of legacy gaskets pulled from service.
Properties of Non-Asbestos gaskets
Cannon Gasket cuts Non-Asbestos gaskets to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of 0.016" to 0.250" thickness. Strong resistance to heat, pressure, and a broad range of industrial chemicals including oils, fuels, steam, and dilute acids/bases.
Non-Asbestos tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on Non-Asbestos gasketsland around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades. Cannon Gasket cuts Non-Asbestos to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.
How Non-Asbestos Sheet Performs
- Aramid or synthetic fibers bound by elastomer — replaces asbestos in pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility. - Pressure capability into the hundreds of psi (grade dependent). - Available in grades engineered for steam, hydrocarbons, water, and chemical service.
Where Non-Asbestos Gaskets Are Specified
Replacement gasket programs for legacy industrial equipment, refinery flanges, steam plant retrofits, marine engine room gaskets, and any environment that previously specified asbestos sheet.
Reference Samples
For retrofit programs, send a sample of the legacy gasket. We will identify the original specification and recommend the closest modern non-asbestos equivalent.
