Abstract
A synthetic gasket material and the method for make such is described. This invention is specifically adapted for use in high-pressure, high-temperature presses. This material is made from a compacted, granulated and dried mixture of talc, garnet, and sodium silicate. This composition provides an alternative to the use of natural pyrophyllite as the material for gasket components, thereby reducing the cost of the materials. This composition can be pressed to net or near net geometry, thereby generating less waste. Moreover, this composition provides more consistency for the gasket components. Furthermore, this material has improved thermal insulator properties, thereby leading to lower power consumption used in the high-pressure, high-temperature presses.
