• Resists blowout in high temperature flanges
  • Versatile sealing applications
  • Resists galvanic corrosion with stainless flanges
  • High-strength continuous length of gasketing
  • Easy installation
  • Quality construction
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing
  • Zero waste

Utex’s Thermex™, Style 482, takes advantage of the latest technology in exfoliated graphite material to provide a high-temperature, high-pressure gasket tape. The manufacturing process of this unique tape provides a high-strength, sure-sealing gasket tape which resists blowout in high-temperature flanges and also resists galvanic corrosion with stainless flanges.

EASY INSTALLATION*

  •  
  • Remove the pressure sensitive adhesive from the back of the tape and wrap the tape around the flange.
  • Cross the ends of the joint for a quick and simple gasket sealing.
