We supply our Novus gaskets and washer products to a wide range of industrial sectors including Petro-Chemical, Oil & Gas, Marine, Power Generation, Offshore/On-Shore, Steel & Aluminium, Mining, Aerospace, Automotive, Defence, OEM, Water Treatment as well as General Engineering.

The operating temperature of non asbestos sheet material is related to the thickness of materials selected. Thinner materials give better temperature and pressure properties.

Listed below are the most common grades of Novus we offer our cut parts in. Please note that temperature and pressure levels outlined below are for guidance purposes only and will depend on other key factors within the application, such as thickness of the component etc. Please also be aware that maximum operating temperatures with be affected by levels of pressure within the application. The higher the pressure, the lower the temperature range. Similarly, the lower the pressure, the higher the temperature range.
