FlexPro - The versatile gasket with three key The FlexPro gasket has been providing STYLE PN. an extremely tight, reliable seal in a wide features: compressibility, range of applications globally since its development in Germany over 50 years ago. low stress, convenience. The FlexPro gasket is comprised of a concentrically serrated solid metal core with a soft, conformable sealing material Style PN FlexPro gaskets are bonded to each face. The soft facing selected for use in confined locations, material provides low stress gasket seating, including male and female, tongue and while the serrated geometry of the metal groove, spigotted and/or recessed flange core enhances sealing performance by arrangements.
