Gasket Frenzelit Novapress 260 Sheet

Novapress 260

• Material Composition: It’s made of aramid fibers (a strong synthetic fiber) bonded with NBR (nitrile-butadiene rubber) plus special functional fillers.
• Asbestos-Free: Yes, Novapress 260 is asbestos-free.
• Coating: It has an anti-stick (non-stick) coating on both sides.
• Color: The sheet is green.

Performance & Approvals

• Best Price-Performance: Designed for standard gasket applications where you don’t need super-high spec — good value.
• Media / Application: Suitable for general industrial use, especially for less critical (“uncritical”) media.
• Approved For: Gas, drinking water.
• Use Cases: Heating systems, sanitary installations, pipeline construction, plant & mechanical engineering.

Technical / Mechanical Properties

From its datasheet:

• With IRM 903 (oil): weight change ≤ 10%, thickness change ≤ 4%
• With Fuel B (5h/23 °C): weight change ≤ 11%, thickness change ≤ 9%
  | Leachable Chloride Content | ≤ 150 ppm (per QS-001-133) |

Operating Limits

• Sheet Size: Standard supply sheet is 1500 mm × 2000 mm.
• Temperature / Pressure: Designed for low to medium pressures and temperatures (the datasheet suggests “low / medium pressure-temperature loads”).
• Certifications: According to the Frenzelit brochure, it has approvals like DVGW, WRAS, BS 7531 Grade Y, and drinking water guideline certifications.

Pros & Limitations

Pros:

• Good for general-purpose sealing.
• Cost-effective.
• Anti-stick coating helps with installation and reuse.
• Environmentally safer (no asbestos).

Limitations:

• Not meant for very high temperature or pressure applications.
• Since it's aramid + NBR, chemical resistance is not as broad as, say, PTFE-based gaskets (depends on medium).

Availability

• It’s sold by industrial gasket / packing suppliers. For example, CV. Sinar Gemilang lists Frenzelit Novapress 260 sheets.
• Because it’s a technical gasket material, it’s typically bought in sheet form and cut to size rather than as a finished round gasket (unless a supplier or fabricator does the cutting)
