The inner eyelet
protects the medium and the seal from impurities
reduces cross-section leakage

The Waveline WLP Egraflex Steelflon gasket Profile 1 with
inner eyelet has a corrugated cross-section which is under
high pressure due to the corrugated stress. The sealing
material is a sandwich design of pure graphite and metal
sheets. The internal design consists of several 0.5 mm thick
layers of high-quality graphite sheets and 0.05 mm of plain
stainless steel sheet foils.

increases the buckling stability and improves handling.

Reduces surface leakage by increasing the surface pressure.

The surface consists of a stainless steel foil with a 0.05mm
thick covering layer of PTFE. The internal eyelet is made of
0.15 mm thick metal sheeting made from 1.4571 stainless
steel and finished using the Waveline® process. The entire
bond is glue-free.
Due to the pre-compression using the Waveline® process,
the cross-section density is improved so that the “flange
deforming work” is partly done. Any bolt load applied affects
the tips of the waves first. This allows the gasket to even
itself out particularly well, even at low flange bearings, which
helps it to adapt to the surfaces to be sealed.

Diffusion is
greatly reduced
due to high precompaction

The advantages:
meets the leakage requirements of the VDI Guidelines
2440 and TA Luft.
media resistance of 1.4571 steel and PTFE

The inner eyelet is pre-compressed using the Waveline®
process and reduces the diffusion of the medium through
the seal. This produces very low leakage rates, even under
normal operating conditions. The Waveline WLP® Profile F1
with inner eyelet fulfils the requirements of TA Luft in accordance with the VDI Guidelines 2440.

wide range of application

The metal reinforcements and the stable 0.15 mm thick inner eyelet, combined with the corrugated pre-compression,
ensure that the gasket is inherently stable and easy to handle.

no contamination of the medium by the gasket

no measurable creep properties

easily replaceable, as the gaskets do not stick to the
sealing surface.
