VR 60
Material
VR 60 is an asbestos-free gasket material. It consists of aramid fibers and other substances that are resistant to high temperatures and are processed with high-grade elastomers under elevated pressure and temperature.
Properties
The gasket material is physiologically safe and does not contain any colour pigments.
On the one hand, this economical gasket material is conformable and flexible, which ensures adequate sealing even with low surface pressure. On the other hand, it provides adequately high stress resistance coupled with good gas sealability.
In addition, VR 60 is resistant to solvents, oils, fuels, water, and many other media.
Application
- for sealed joints that are subject to moderate thermal and mechanical stress
- for lightweight components and flanges
- for apparatus, transmissions, pumps, sanitary fittings
- for sealing lightweight components with comparatively low surface pressure, e.g. transmissions, valve covers, oil pans and covers in IC engines.
Thanks to its physiological harmlessness VR 60 can be used especially also in the drinking water and foodstuff sector.
Surfaces
As standard, both sides of VR 60 are coated with a non-stick, high-friction layer that greatly facilitates disassembly. In most cases, additional surface treatment is unnecessary.

The data quoted above are valid for the material “as delivered” without any additional treatment. In view of the countless possible installation and operating conditions, definitive conclusions cannot be drawn for all applications regarding the behavior in a sealed joint. Therefore, we do not give any warranty for technical data, as they do not represent assured characteristics. If you have any doubt, please contact us and specify the exact operating conditions.
