Nomex is a high temperature sleeve material manufactured from solid organic polymer and is suitable for temperatures
Seal Material up to 425 degree F.
The sealing elements are intended to provide an impervious barrier through which no maintained media or other sub-
stance can penetrate. Consequently, the composite retainer backing material behind the seal remains uncontaminated and
thus permanently holds the seal in place in a static, fully encapsulated manner.
