Maxiflex PRO-X Metallic Gasket For Seawater Applications

The KLINGER Maxiflex PRO-X is an advanced spiral wound gasket specifically engineered for demanding environments where preventing corrosive media ingress and maintaining long-term sealing integrity are essential.

Combining a Mica and Graphite sealing element with a specially designed Kammprofile-based inner ring, Maxiflex PRO-X provides a reliable sealing solution for hydrocarbon processing industries and applications exposed to aggressive chemicals and saltwater.

Advanced Sealing and Corrosion Protection

Conventional spiral wound gasket designs can allow potentially corrosive process media to enter the flange sealing area, creating conditions that may lead to crevice corrosion around the inner ring.

Maxiflex PRO-X addresses this challenge through its serrated Kammprofile-based inner ring, which features a biaxially orientated, multi-directional PTFE facing. Designed to seal effectively at the gasket bore under low seating loads, this construction helps prevent media ingress and reduce the risk of crevice corrosion.

Combined with its Mica and Graphite sealing element, Maxiflex PRO-X offers a robust, long-term sealing solution for demanding industrial environments.
