TS-9003 is a controlled-swell gasket material with a latent cure styrene butadiene rubber binder. It is an alternative to high-swell asbestos and nonasbestos compressed sheet materials. Its latent cure binder and heat resistant fibers give it good oil sealing characteristics at low flange pressure, and it conforms well to irregular flange surfaces. It is intended for applications with short duration maximum temperatures up to 350°C (650°F).
