Flange gasket
Metex

The Metal Textiles Ring Gasket with Heat Shield represents the next evolution in our all-metal gasket technology by bringing together the unique, zero-leak performance characteristics of our knitted wire mesh static flange gaskets with built-in heat protection in a single, all-metal gasket assembly.

The result is optimal thermal protection for sensitive automotive components such as on-board computer sensors--all with greater ease of installation and overall system integrity. Combining the gasket and heat shield in one integrated unit offers a number of significant advantages in automotive manufacturing:

Simplified Assembly--with greater speed and ease of assembly, our unique single piece gasket/shield design eliminates the need to bolt, weld or strap the heat shield in place.
Reduced acquisition costs--The unit not only cuts labor and component costs but reduces inventory management by eliminating additional part numbers.
Cost-effective performance--zero leakage and thermal protection in one product to protect sensitive automotive components.
