Gambit AF-GL® Plate

Gambit AF-GL® Gasket Sheet

Series: GAMBIT AF High

The unique composition of components and the special structure of the AF-GL® sheet ensure excellent sealing of joints and high resistance to various media, such as steam, water, fuels, oils, salt solutions, as well as weak acids and bases. Thanks to carefully selected fibers and fillers, seals made from this material stand out with increased durability and strength in steam applications.

Gaskets from the GAMBIT AF High series are designed for operation in extreme conditions, made from precisely selected raw materials, ensuring their quality stability, mechanical resistance, and long service life.
