Hangzhou bird material sealing material Co. in the last century, in 90s started the project of non asbestos gasket materials (100% non asbestos materials), brings together the Fudan University, East China University of Science and Technology and many other domestic non asbestos experts after years of research and development, and achieved great success.We have no asbestos material (non asbestos material) technology research and development to production of the whole product manufacturing technology, product performance has reached the level of developed countries in Europe and the United States. Independent research and development of the leading non asbestos (non asbestos) continuous production line material, manufacturing technology with continuous forming process, the production of various specifications of non asbestos sheet the (non asbestos sheet and coil), to meet the different needs of customers.At present, our products have no asbestos at GM, Shanghai Volkswagen, Jinshan petrochemical, Daikin air-conditioning, MITSUBISHI heavy industries, Ltd., Japan Kansai brother group and many other well-known global enterprises are widely used.Description: in the domestic market, some companies will contain a certain amount of asbestos (5-20%) gasket called non asbestos gasket, while 100% asbestos free gasket is called asbestos free gasket
Asbestos gaskets are not only poisonous, but also carcinogenic:Since 1880, Austria used as compressed asbestos gasket material since, has 100 years of history, the operation performance of asbestos fibre board with its low cost, high temperature resistance, high strength, good has been widely used in mechanical transport, petroleum and chemical engineering. However, the international community has recognized asbestos is a carcinogen in the 70s. In many countries, the non asbestos plan, after more than 20 years of efforts, the United States, Japan and Australia and other countries has successfully developed a series of non asbestos gasket material, in 1990 the United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA issued government regulations prohibiting the use of asbestos materials and products, now the advanced countries in the world have been extended to non asbestos material applications, ban asbestos material.
