A history of quality

Their flat gaskets include specialty options such as PTFE and eyeleted gaskets. Spiral wound gaskets are available coated and uncoated, with a variety of metals and filler materials depending on project needs. 3-ply and metal jacketed Kammprofile gaskets are suitable for high compression applications. Metallic gaskets for petrochemical applications come in a variety of alloys and shapes, while calibrated shims are tailored for use with compressors, turbines, and pumps. Five types of flange insulation kits prevent contact corrosion and galvanic corrosion in a variety of systems. Packings come in multiple yarns to suit the entire pH range and multiple types of media. Seal rings include standard rubber O rings, as well as specialty items like Gard Oil, a labyrinth system instead of lip seal rings.

Spiralit’s innovation doesn’t stop at their products; the facilities themselves are also constantly upgrading and improving. New water jet, flash cut, and automatic spiraling machines allow the team to produce multiple variations of custom sealing products in a fraction of the time required in standard operations.
