High quality, medium-to-hard grade of cork-elastomer jointing based on nitrile elastomer. Upgraded replacement for Nebar® N67. This material is able to withstand a higher degree of compression than other grades, which enables it efficiently to seal transformer lids (and other equipment) where flanges suiffer a degree of non-parallelism. Moreover, its ability to withstand vapour phase drying removes the need for test gaskets. Prime features Robust grade for heavy electrical duties. More resistant to over-compression than normal cork-elastomer grades. Suitable for out-of-parallel flanges, typically on transformer lids. Resists all commonly used transformer fluids. Withstands vapour phase drying. +110°C maximum recommended operating temperature in liquids - tolerates intermittent excursions to +120°C. Retains flexibility down to -20°C. Specifications Complies with ASTM F104 line call out F225000M2. Fluid compatibilities Suitable for use with air, water, alcohols, fuel and diesel oils, mineral and synthetic lubricating oils, mineral hydraulic fluids, water/glycol, ASTM Oil No 1, IRM903 oil, ASTM Fuel A, BS 148 Transformer Oil.
