The properties of asbestos made it a useful component in the production of gaskets. Asbestos is chemical- and heat-resistant, as well as nonconductive and noncorrosive. Gaskets create a seal between pipes and other machinery components to avoid leaks.

In conclusion, asbestos gaskets have proven to be a safer, stronger, and more reliable alternative to asbestos gaskets. Their excellent chemical resistance, wide temperature range, and durability make them a preferred choice in various industrial applications.
