Gasket Paper - Mehr - GT14

This gasket paper is used to create custom-fit gaskets for sealing engine components and other mechanical assemblies, particularly in automotive and industrial maintenance.

Each pack contains two sheets of gasket paper.

The gasket paper has a thickness of 0.4mm (approximately 1/64 inch).

While durable, this paper is best suited for moderate-pressure and static seal applications. For extremely high-pressure or dynamic sealing, specialized gasket materials may be required.

Store the sheets flat in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent damage and maintain material integrity.

It is generally compatible with oils, coolants, and fuels for typical automotive applications. However, always check compatibility for specific or aggressive chemicals.

It is generally not recommended to reuse gaskets created from paper material, as they compress and conform to the mating surfaces during installation. A new gasket should be made for each service.

Ensure both mating surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. Verify the gasket was cut precisely to shape and the correct thickness was used for the application. Check that adequate and even torque was applied to the fasteners.

Use a very sharp blade or a dedicated gasket cutter. Ensure you are cutting on a suitable surface and apply steady, even pressure. Avoid excessive force that could tear the material.

For minor shaping needs, slight warming might help, but be cautious not to overheat or damage the paper. Ensure the surfaces it's being applied to are flat and true.
