In modern industrial applications, the demand for safe, durable, and high-performance sealing materials is paramount. Traditional asbestos-based materials, once the industry standard, are now largely obsolete and banned in many regions due to their severe health risks. This is where advanced Non-asbestos Sheet technology comes into play. Kaxite Sealing is at the forefront of this innovation, engineering premium non-asbestos sheets that meet the rigorous demands of various industries without compromising on safety or environmental responsibility. Our materials are engineered to provide exceptional sealing, gasketing, and insulation properties, making them the intelligent choice for engineers and procurement specialists worldwide.
A Non-asbestos Sheet is a high-performance industrial material manufactured from a blend of synthetic fibers, elastomeric binders, and other reinforcing fillers. It is designed to replicate and exceed the beneficial properties of traditional asbestos sheets—such as heat resistance, chemical stability, and mechanical strength—while completely eliminating the hazardous crystalline silicate fibers linked to lung diseases and cancer. These sheets are versatile, used primarily for creating gaskets, seals, insulation barriers, and protective covers in aggressive environments.
Kaxite Sealing offers a comprehensive range of Non-asbestos Sheets tailored for specific application needs. Below are the detailed parameters for our flagship series.

Q: What exactly does "Non-asbestos" mean, and is it truly safe?
A: "Non-asbestos" means the material is formulated entirely without any asbestos fibers. Asbestos is a known human carcinogen. Kaxite Sealing sheets use carefully selected synthetic and organic fibers (like aramid, glass, and cellulose) combined with rubber binders to create a safe, high-performance material. They are independently tested and certified to be 100% asbestos-free, ensuring complete safety during handling, fabrication, and use.
Q: How does the performance of a Non-asbestos Sheet compare to traditional compressed asbestos sheets?
A: Modern Non-asbestos Sheets are engineered to match or exceed the performance of asbestos-based materials in almost every aspect. They offer equivalent or better sealing force, temperature resistance, and chemical resilience. A key advantage is their superior creep relaxation resistance, meaning they maintain bolt load and seal integrity longer under fluctuating temperatures and pressures. The primary difference is the elimination of health hazards.
Q: Can I use the same tools and processes to fabricate gaskets from Non-asbestos Sheets?
A: Yes, absolutely. Kaxite Sealing Non-asbestos Sheets are designed for easy fabrication using standard workshop tools. They can be cleanly cut with utility knives, scissors, or die-cut. They can also be stamped, punched, and drilled using the same equipment and techniques traditionally used for asbestos sheets, with no special modifications required.
Q: What is the maximum temperature and pressure your sheets can withstand?
A> Our standard KAX-NAS100 series is rated for continuous service from -40°C to +250°C, with peak excursions up to 300°C possible. Our high-temperature KAX-NAS200 series extends this range to -50°C to +400°C continuously. Pressure ratings depend on the specific gasket design, flange type, and bolt load. The sheets themselves have high compressive strength (≥ 8-10 MPa tensile) and are suitable for most industrial flange pressures, including ANSI Class 150 to 600 applications. Always consult our engineering data sheets for specific project requirements.
Q: Are Kaxite Sealing Non-asbestos Sheets resistant to all chemicals?
A> While highly resistant to a wide range of media, no single material is universal. Our standard series offers excellent resistance to oils, fuels, water, steam, and many aliphatic hydrocarbons. Our KAX-NAS200 series provides enhanced resistance to more aggressive chemicals, including certain acids, alkalis, and glycol-based fluids. We recommend checking our chemical compatibility charts or consulting with our technical team for exposure to specific, highly aggressive chemicals like strong oxidizing acids or concentrated solvents.
Q: How do I select the right grade of Non-asbestos Sheet for my application?
A> Selection depends on four key factors: 1) Operating Temperature, 2) Media/Chemical Exposure, 3) Pressure/Stress Conditions, and 4) Regulatory Requirements. For general-purpose sealing of water, steam, oil, and fuels up to 250°C, our KAX-NAS100 series is ideal. For higher temperatures (up to 400°C), aggressive chemicals, or specific certifications, the KAX-NAS200 series is recommended. The Kaxite Sealing technical support team is always available to assist with material selection.
Q: How should Non-asbestos Sheet gaskets be stored and what is their shelf life?
A> Store sheets and pre-cut gaskets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, moisture, and ozone sources (like electrical motors). Ideally, store them flat to prevent bending or curling. When stored under these recommended conditions, Kaxite Sealing Non-asbestos Sheets have a shelf life of over 5 years from the date of manufacture without significant degradation of properties.
Q: Does Kaxite Sealing provide custom-cut gaskets or sheets in specific sizes?
A> Yes. We offer full customization services. We can supply sheets in custom dimensions, rolls, or pre-cut blanks. Furthermore, our state-of-the-art fabrication facility can produce precision die-cut, laser-cut, or waterjet-cut gaskets to your exact drawings and specifications, ready for installation.
