Klinger Milam PSS Gaskets

What Is Klinger Milam PSS?

Klinger Milam PSS is a phlogopite mica-based compressed fibre gasket sheet, reinforced with stainless steel to provide strength and dimensional stability at extreme temperatures.
The name reflects the product composition:

• Milam = Klinger’s high-temperature mica-based material family.
• PSS = Phlogopite Stainless Steel.

4. Safe and Asbestos-Free

Offers performance equal to or exceeding legacy asbestos-based gaskets, but without health hazards. Fully compliant with modern health and safety requirements.

5. Long-Term Durability

Designed to perform under repeated thermal expansion, vibration, and mechanical load. Reduces need for frequent replacement and limits production downtime.

6. Versatility

Works in both static sealing (flanges, housings) and dynamic systems (turbochargers, high-vibration joints). Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Industry-Specific Use Cases

Klinger Milam PSS is recognised across heavy industries for its durability and thermal stability. Typical sectors and equipment include:

1. Automotive and Transport

• Turbo flanges.
• Exhaust manifolds.
• EGR systems.
• Catalytic converter connections.

2. Metal and Steel Processing

• Kilns and furnaces.
• Steel ladles and converters.
• Heat treating chambers.

3. Chemical and Refinery Facilities

• Process piping and flanges.
• Reactors and scrubbers.
• Incinerators and high-temperature vessels.

4. Power Generation

• Boilers.
• Heat recovery steam generators.
• Turbine casings and housings.

5. Marine and Offshore

• Marine diesel engine exhaust.
• Scrubbers and after-treatment units.
• Turbine exhaust lines.

Limitations Addressed by Klinger Milam PSS

Milam PSS is designed to solve critical challenges found in harsh industrial environments. It offers performance where standard materials reach their limit.

• Temperature Failure of Standard Gaskets
  Milam PSS operates reliably at up to 1000°C, well beyond the limits of compressed fibre, graphite, or rubber-based materials.
• Blowouts and Gasket Fatigue
  Stainless steel reinforcement enhances resistance to pressure and mechanical failure, especially in systems with thermal cycling.
• Health and Safety Compliance
  Asbestos-free and certified to meet environmental and occupational safety standards. Suitable for regulated industries.
• Aggressive Chemical Exposure
  Provides chemical compatibility with hydrocarbons, fuels, solvents, acids, and alkalis, extending sealing lifespan.
• Reducing Unscheduled Downtime
  Withstands harsh operating conditions, reducing the frequency of gasket replacement and maintenance intervals.
