Many products designed to replace asbestos have seen extensive use since the 1970s; however, choosing a replacement material for compressed asbestos warrants careful consideration. Most manufacturers of non-asbestos sheet gasket materials use synthetic fibers like aramid or Kevlar® in conjunction with an elastomeric binder. The elastomeric binder makes up a larger percentage of this sheet and thereby becomes a more important consideration when determining applications. Kevlar® is a registered trademark of DuPont.
