Abstract
Compressed non-asbestos gasketing material suitable for use in high temperature applications and particularly for sealing steam and other oxidizing fluids. In a preferred form, the material is characterized by a markedly reduced weight loss at high temperatures as compared to other compressed non-asbestos gasketing materials. The material contains a substantial quantity of sepiolite fiber and a lesser amount of other inorganic fibers such as rock, wool and ceramic.
