Locomotive Asbestos Gasket Tape

Locomotive Asbestos Gasket Tape is a type of gasket material that is specifically designed for use in locomotives. It is classified under the supply class Packing And Gasket Materials, which refers to materials used for sealing and gasketing applications.

Asbestos gasket tape is made from asbestos fibers, which provide excellent heat resistance and sealing properties. It is commonly used in high-temperature applications where a reliable and durable seal is required, such as in locomotive engines.

However, it is important to note that asbestos is a hazardous material and its use has been heavily regulated or banned in many countries due to its health risks. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is disturbed or damaged, and prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Therefore, it is recommended to use alternative gasket materials that are asbestos-free and comply with current safety regulations.
