Klingersil® C-4106 is a widely specified compressed fibre gasket material used where reliable sealing, adaptability, and resistance to oils and fuels are essential. At Stephens Gaskets, we manufacture bespoke Klingersil® C-4106 gaskets for customers who require consistent performance across demanding industrial applications.
With over 70 years of experience as UK gasket manufacturers, we understand how materials like C-4106 behave in real operating environments, not just in laboratory conditions.
What Is Klingersil® C-4106?
Klingersil® C-4106 is a compressed fibre gasket material manufactured from a blend of synthetic fibres and cork, bonded with a nitrile rubber binder. This combination delivers a gasket material that is flexible, adaptable, and capable of sealing uneven or irregular flange surfaces.
It is particularly well suited to applications where oils, fuels, hydrocarbons, water, and refrigerants are present.
Key Benefits of Klingersil® C-4106
Klingersil® C-4106 is specified because it offers a balance of sealing performance, adaptability, and ease of installation.
Key benefits include:
- Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, hydrocarbons, and water.
- Good compatibility with refrigerants used in HVAC systems.
- Strong adaptability to uneven or imperfect flange surfaces.
- Low surface pressure requirements for effective sealing.
- Straightforward installation and reliable performance.
These properties make C-4106 a practical choice where sealing reliability and versatility are required.
Sealing Irregular and Uneven Flanges
One of the standout advantages of Klingersil® C-4106 is its ability to conform to irregular flange surfaces. Uneven flanges can cause unequal gasket compression, leading to leaks and premature failure.
The compressibility and structure of C-4106 allow it to:
- Level out surface irregularities.
- Maintain sealing integrity under load.
- Reduce the risk of leakage caused by poor flange alignment.
This makes it particularly valuable in older equipment or applications where flange condition cannot be easily corrected.
Typical Applications for Klingersil® C-4106 Gaskets
Due to its versatility, Klingersil® C-4106 is used across a wide range of industries.
Common applications include:
- Automotive engines and systems.
- Oil and fuel handling equipment.
- HVAC and refrigeration systems.
- General industrial machinery.
- Pipework and flange sealing.
Correct material selection ensures reliable sealing while minimising maintenance requirements.
