Paronite PA
Paronite PA (reinforced)
Reinforced sheet paronite (PA grade) is manufactured in accordance with the Specifications of GOST 481-80 and is intended for the manufacture of flat sealing gaskets. Due to the internal metal reinforcement, it has a second name - ferronite. For reinforcement, steel mesh No. 9 is used in accordance with GOST 3826. According to the State Standard, PA paronite is manufactured in all climatic versions (in tropical - with the use of fungicides). The minimum temperature of paronite, at which it remains operational, is minus 60 ° C.
Shape - sheets with a thickness of 0.8; 1.0; 1.2; 2.0 and 3.0 mm, standard dimensions from 400x300 mm to 1500x1000 mm.
Paronite gaskets with a diameter of up to 1500 mm are made from a single sheet, more than 1500 mm - from several parts by joining them in a "dovetail" or "overlapping" gluing.

The roughness of the surfaces to be joined for the installation of a paronite gasket should be no more than Rz = 40 microns.
At the request of the customer, paronite can be produced and supplied both in sheets and in the form of ready-made gaskets according to the customer's drawings.
