Multi-Layer Hot Gaskets, also known as MLS for short, consists of multiple layers of stainless steel substrate with full or half embossments that give the layers function. This product can include a stopper at the combustion seal to limit motion and provide multistage gas sealing. Primary elastomeric coatings provide microsealing for the head, block and gasket layers. Secondary coatings enhance cold-seal capability, reduce friction and prevent sticking.

Features and benefits:

• Requires lower clamp load to seal
• Decreases cylinder head gasket contribution to bore distortion
• Rigid body improves bolt load retention.
• Steel construction provides control of compressed gasket thickness.Robust design resists thermal and chemical attack.
• Active seal conformability and resiliency allow for higher flange deflections.
• Design permits flexibility to accommodate multiple piston-to-head clearances.
• Multi-layer seal with compressed thickness control outside the combustion area for distributed elastomer fluid sealing
• Combustion sealing up to 250 Bar
• Consistent contact surface across the gasket to target sealing loads where needed.
