Aramid Fibers with a Neoprene Binder

The BLUE-GARD® Style 3300 provides excellent sealability, which drastically lowers emissions levels and provides cost savings. This style can be used in many applications, including refrigerants, oils, and fuels.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

  • Excellent sealability
  • Improved torque retention
  • Drastically lowered emissions levels
  • Cost savings through reduced waste, maintenance, stocked inventory, fluid loss, and energy consumption

*This style is not the preferred choice for steam service, but is successful when adequately compressed. Minimum recommended assembly stress = 4,800 psi. Preferred assembly stress = 6,000-10,000 psi. Gasket thickness of 1/16" strongly preferred. Retorque the bolts/studs prior to pressurizing the assembly. For saturated steam above 150psig or superheated steam, consult Garlock® Engineering.
