About KLINGER Kempchen
KLINGER Kempchen develops, produces and distributes gaskets, packing and expansion joints for industrial sealing technology. The product portfolio includes, among other things, rubber-steel gaskets with NBR sealing lips and internal steel carrier, stainless-steel corrugated ring gaskets with graphite facing on both sides, kammprofile gaskets with serrated stainless-steel carrier, as well as all-metal double-jacket gaskets and graphite flat gaskets with metallic carrier foils. A particular focus is on sealing solutions for hydrogen applications in the hydrogen and energy sector as well as Power-to-X processes, where requirements for tightness and media resistance are especially high. The range is complemented by KLINGER Engineering with calculation-based design and verification of flange connections according to DIN EN 1591-1, flange assembly training according to DIN EN 1591-4, as well as comprehensive service and support. The company, headquartered in Oberhausen, can look back on 135 years of experience in sealing technology and is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. Through a worldwide network of service and sales partners, customers are supplied in industries including chemicals, gas supply and plant engineering.

Materials and Gasket Types
Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR)
Elastomer component of force-sealed and self-sealing rubber-steel gaskets, not impaired by hydrogen.
Graphite
Facing material for corrugated ring and kammprofile gaskets as well as flat gaskets, chemically resistant to hydrogen below 300 °C.
Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L)
Austenitic Cr-Ni steel for corrugated rings, kammprofiles and carrier foils, resistant to hydrogen-induced stress corrosion.
Stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti)
Austenitic steel for the edging of graphite flat gaskets.
Steel (steel carrier)
Internal carrier of rubber-steel gaskets for force transmission.
All-metal
Material for all-metal double-jacket gaskets with two sealing rings made of easily deformable, plastic metal.
