KLINGERgraphite PSM/AS
Pure exfoliated graphite with a tanged stainless
steel sheet reinforcement for improved blow-
out resistance and ease of handling. Due to the
excellent chemical and thermal capabilities of
graphite it is used extensively throughout the
petrochemical and chemical industries for
process duties and steam applications.
The Klinger group has been General Properties
recognised as the market Excellent resistance to steam
