Maximising your added value:
products and applications
for chemical processes.
Very special requirements are made on gaskets and expansion joints in chemical
processes. Because what are important in this special area of industry are not only guaranteed
product quality and safety for people and the environment but also high added value thanks
to optimum maintenance.
Cutting costs, maintaining quality: both need to be guaranteed for our customers in the chemical
industry in particular. Optimum maintenance is one particularly important aspect where costcutting is concerned – minimum downtime and higher efficiency make sure added value is
maximised. The Frenzelit solution: customised expansion joints.We supply tailor-made solutions
that satisfy our customers' particular requirements – in the shortest possible time and in top
Frenzelit quality. Our particular advantage: you get everything from a single, integrated source.
Flat gaskets are another example. Here it is vital to reduce diffuse emissions to an absolute
minimum. Not only the environment but also your company benefit from this. The Frenzelit
solution: a complete range of materials in all categories that have been tested to verify their
compliance with the TA Luft regulations.
An example: we supply novaphit® SSTCTA-L, a gasket made from extremely pure, expanded graphite
with an acid-resistant chrome-nickel steel insert, for all-purpose use. The result: so little leakage
that it can hardly be measured. A standard solution for all-purpose use throughout the factory

Products and applications
for thermal processes.
We supply our customers a uniquely varied range of products for thermal insulation and the
sealing of thermal process plants. Perfect co-ordination with the individual applications is
particularly important here: because optimum satisfaction can only be achieved if the solutions
chosen have been adapted precisely to meet your requirements.
Thermal process plants are becoming increasingly complex – and they are supposed to work
without any (unscheduled) interruptions even so. Maximise not only your plant safety but
also plant availability and reliability with the expansion joint maintenance benefits from
