Production Methods
With continued investment in gasket manufacturing and
water jet cutting we offer an unparalleled facility for the
production of high quality components supporting many
of the world’s valve manufacturers, refineries, power
generation, chemical and pharmaceutical plants.

Gee Graphite maintains that in order to produce

reliable high integrity quality products, its
production source must be controlled.

Water jet cutting profiling machines are at the forefront

of profiling technology. Utilising water and abrasive at
pressures of up to 60,000 psi, water jet profiling machines
are incredibly versatile, being able to cut almost any

Thermiculite™ 894 is a flexible gasket based upon the proprietary Thermiculite™ sealing material used in the

It is made by over-knitting strips of foil used in the manufacture of Thermiculite™ 835 spiral wound gasket with a fine
