The material holds up against thermal shock, very high temperature, and fire exposure. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Braided Flexible Graphite is known for excellent thermal conductivity and fire resistance, exceptional temperature capability well beyond elastomeric materials. It should not be specified for service in highly oxidizing service above rated temperature or strong oxidizing acids.
Common environments for this compound include power generation, steam and heat transfer systems, and exhaust and flue gas.
Order part number 11710250-10, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 10 lb. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
