Superior Quality and PerformanceThese fibre jointing sheets are asbestos-free and engineered for high performance in water and low-pressure steam environments. Each sheet boasts a fine smooth finish on both sides, ensuring reliable sealing and easy handling during installation. Their material formulation and construction deliver outstanding compressive strength ( 20 MPa) and tensile strength ( 10 MPa), while maintaining stability in a wide pH range (5-11).
Versatile ApplicationsAF110 sheets are designed for a broad range of general water industry uses, including gasket manufacturing, pipe flange sealing, and various low-pressure steam applications. Their superior resistance to water absorption and compatible working temperature (up to 150C) make them dependable for industrial, municipal, and utility settings.
Compliance and SafetyFree from harmful asbestos fibers, AF110 sheets promote workplace safety and adhere to key certifications such as IS 2712 (Grade W/2) and ASTM F104. Their low chloride content and minimal leachable chlorides ensure suitability for sensitive water system installations, while smooth surfaces allow for effective sealing.
FAQs of ASBESTOS FREE(AF) FIBRE JOINTING SHEETS - AF110 Water:
Q: What are ASBESTOS FREE (AF) FIBRE JOINTING SHEETS - AF110 Water used for?
A: These sheets are primarily used for gasket making and sealing in general-purpose water and low-pressure steam applications, especially where asbestos-free solutions are essential for safety and regulatory compliance.
Q: How should AF110 jointing sheets be stored to maintain their quality?
A: The sheets should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation and ensure longevity of the materials physical properties.
Q: When is it best to use AF110 fibre jointing sheets instead of traditional asbestos-based sheets?
A: AF110 is recommended wherever asbestos exposure must be avoided, such as in municipal waterworks, food processing plants, and any environment with strict health and safety standards.
Q: Where can these sheets be applied given their performance parameters?
A: They are suitable for use in water pipelines, boiler seals, plumbing applications, and anywhere general water or low-pressure steam sealing is required, thanks to their resistance to water, pressure (up to 25 bar), and temperature (up to 150C).
Q: What is the correct process for cutting and installing AF110 jointing sheets?
A: Use standard gasket-cutting tools to shape the sheet as needed, ensuring both surfaces are clean and undamaged. Follow manufacturer guidelines for installation, and verify compatibility with your systems pressure and temperature requirements.
Q: How does the absence of asbestos benefit users and environments?
A: The absence of asbestos eliminates risks related to inhalation or contact with hazardous fibers, supporting safer workplaces and environmental compliance without sacrificing performance.
