Hylam Bakelite Gaskets

Insulating sets are essentially used for pipeline flange corrosion protection, where a seal is required between dissimilar flange materials. The use of dissimilar metallic flanges with a conductive gasket material accompanied by a suitable electrolyte may set up a galvanic cell that will corrode the anodic metal. Insulating sets are also used to electrically isolate flange joints, preventing the flow of electrostatic charge along pipelines.
