novapress®
Elastomer-bonded fiber gaskets
Future-oriented fiber gaskets
The novapress® product family represents the latest technology in fiber-based gasket sheets. The use of the latest process technology and a process control system for the entire manufacturing process guarantees consistent quality at the highest level – made in Germany.
novapress® is a group of elastomer-bonded gasket materials based on high-quality aramid fibers and special functional fillers. novapress® products are the standard in flat gasket applications and cover nearly all conventional applications; however, each product has special properties that make it ideal for use in specific applications.
Whether it’s innovative materials or gasket solutions that have been used successfully for many years – the novapress® product line offers you the right gasket material for countless applications.
The pioneering fiber gasket for Industry 4.0
novapress® 880 combines excellent adaptability to flange unevenness with outstanding mechanical stability. Thus it complies reliably with the sealing category demanded by the VDI directive 2290 and TA Luft even in case of low surface pressure levels – whether or not an inner eyelet is applied. Thanks to its outstanding gasket parameters according to DIN EN 13555 it is possible to achieve technically effective gasket designs for flange calculations according to DIN EN 1591-1, which also include all system-related tightening tolerances.
As the first soft gasket for Industry 4.0, novapress® 880 has innovative Gasket Code Technology standard, which ensures reliable and unique identification of the material – including the production period – from even the smallest gasket dimensions.
Key properties of novapress® 880 at a glance:
Approx. 3x higher adaptability compared to conventional fiber gaskets
High mechanical stability even under temperature stress
Exceptional chemical resistance and very universal use
High-quality in terms of TA Luft
Nearly identical properties according to DIN EN 13555 – with or without inner eyelet
* Note on PFAS: The optional or standard PTFE surface coating of the novapress® product series can be replaced by PFAS-free surface coatings from our product range on request.

The perfect symbiosis between fiber and elastomer
novapress® 850 (also known as novaform® 2300) offers a unique combination of the positive properties fiber and elastomer gaskets:
- Excellent adaptability – almost like an elastomer
- Mechanical stability – like conventional fiber gaskets
This enables novapress® 850 to cover applications for which neither rubber nor conventional fiber gaskets are ideal, making it the perfect solution for a variety of applications such as:
- Easily deformed and/or non-rigid structural parts
- Components with inconsistently distributed surface pressure due to screws spaced at large intervals
- Lid or housing seals for gears, pumps, etc.
In addition, novapress® 850 has a number of approvals that make the material ideal for use in the following applications:
- Gas supply (DVGW, VP 401)
- Water supply (drinking water approval in accordance with elastomer guideline, W 270)
- Food industry (FDA, EC 1935/2004)
