Typical Applications
Direct answer: KXT 1820 is used in heat exchangers, boilers, pipes, doors, covers, vessels, and flanges, especially where extreme uneven surfaces, high temperature, and high pressure are present.
Heat Exchangers Sealing flanges and connections in high-temperature heat exchanger systems.
Boilers Reliable sealing for boiler flanges, doors, and inspection covers.
Pipes & Pipelines Sealing pipe flanges and joints in high-temperature process lines.
Vessels & Flanges Ideal for vessels and flanges with extreme uneven surfaces.
Doors & Covers Sealing for industrial doors, covers, and access panels in high-temperature equipment.
Maintenance & Revisions Universal gasket strip for emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance.
Case Study: A chemical plant in East China experienced frequent leakage on a heat exchanger flange with a severely pitted sealing surface. Conventional gasket tape failed within weeks. After switching to KXT 1820 Braided Graphite Tape, the seal remained leak-free for over 18 months, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and replacement costs.
