APG's C-4409 - Synthetic Fiber Sheets with Nitrile Binder has an expanded metal reinforcement. The galvanized low carbon steel insert makes this material suitable for conditions with high thermal and mechanical stress. C-4409 is excellent in hot gases and can replace spiral wound gaskets in some applications. This material is manufactured with synthetic fiber reinforced with a nitrile binder.
