Description
A CAF gasket seals the joint between two flanges. CAF stands for compressed non-asbestos fibre, a sheet of aramid fibre bonded with rubber. As a result, it seals water, oil, air and low-pressure steam at low cost. We stock CAF gaskets and cut them to size at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai.
First, choose ring (IBC) gaskets for raised-face flanges, or full-face gaskets for flat-face flanges. Next, give us the size and pressure class, for example 4″ Class 150. Finally, choose 1.5 mm for smooth flanges, or 3 mm for older, uneven faces. In addition, we can cut gaskets for non-standard flanges from your drawing or old gasket.
Why Choose Our CAF Gasket
- Asbestos free: The fibre sheet is safe to cut and handle.
- Wide service range: It suits water, oils, fuels, air and low-pressure steam.
- Cut to size: Because we cut in-house, odd sizes are ready fast.
- Low cost: In addition, it is the most economical flange gasket for general service.
