Frenzelit Filled Mica Gaskets (NovaMica Thermex)

Filled Mica Gaskets (NovaMica Thermex)

novaMICA® THERMEX is the gasket material with extremely high temperature stability. It is based on processed phlogopite mica and thus resists to continuous temperatures of up to 1000 degrC.

Thanks to expanded metal insertion from stainless steel (AISI 316L/ 1.4404) the novaMICA ® THERMEX offers excellent handling and processing characteristics. The combination of expanded metal insert, high-quality phlogopite mica and an optimised low proportion of binder ensures a high and long-term sealability of mica gaskets even under high temperatures.

novaMICA ® THERMEX is predestined to meet all sealing requirements in hot exhaust systems and in all applications where continuous temperatures of up to 1000 degrC are to withstand.

NovaMica® Thermex

Gasket material made from processed phlogopite mica with an expanded stainless steel metal insert (material no. AISI 316L/1.4404). Thanks to this profile the material has the following excellent properties:

Extremely high temperature stability (up to 1000 ºC)

Low long-term leakage even at high temperatures due to the expanded metal insert

Reliable handling

Smooth processability by all standard manufacturing processes

Application

NovaMICA® Thermex is the ideal choice for applications in the exhaust systems of all combustion engines and units as well as in turbochargers and compressors. The gasket material is insensitive to changes in temperature loads. In line with the requirements of such applications, this material can be combined very effectively with an inner eyelet.
