Abstract
The present invention relates to a metal-covered gasket in which a soft core member (2, 12, 22, 32, 42, 52) containing unexpanded or expanded vermiculite is covered with a metallic sheet (3, 13A, 13B, 23A, 23B, 33A, 33B, 43, 53A, 53B). There are provided good sealing properties by the soft core member mainly composed of inorganic fibers and treated unexpanded vermiculite the expansion amount and expansion force of which are increased due to ion exchange by treatment with chemicals, or by the soft core member solely made of expanded vermiculite. Reinforcing metallic sheets (44, 54) for restraining the vermiculite from transversely sliding and for further improving the entire shape retention may be embedded in the soft core member or laminated on the surface thereof.
