Leader Elastagraph DS
Description
Elastagraph DS gaskets are produced by infusing seamless layers of flexible graphite at varying densities and thicknessess over a corrugated metallic core. Then ePTFE is applied to the I.D. portion of the corrugated core with an 1/8” overlap. Elastagraph DS utilizes a unique corrugated pattern which increases the depth of the groove and the pitch at the peak of the corrugation. This greatly improves the gaskets sealability over traditional corrugated designs.

Product Data SheetApplication
Elastagraph DS is designed specifically to solve fugitive emission and compliance problems. Combines the chemical resistance of ePTFE and graphite that is fire safe. It also has excellent performance in bolted joints that experience thermal cycling or limited initial bolt load.
