CAF Compressed Fibre Gasket Sheet (Asbestos-Free Grades)

Gasket sheet · compressed fibre jointing · asbestos-free grades · UAE stock

CAF is the long-standing trade name for compressed fibre jointing sheet, the material most workshops cut flange gaskets from. Today's grades use non-asbestos fibres, keeping the familiar handling while meeting UAE regulations.

Overview

CAF compressed fibre gasket sheet for workshop-cut gaskets

CAF originally meant compressed asbestos fibre, and many engineers and purchasing lists still use the name for any compressed fibre jointing. Asbestos products are banned in the UAE, so the sheet we supply is asbestos-free compressed fibre, bound with nitrile or SBR rubber. It cuts easily with a knife or punch, holds its shape and seals water, oils, fuels, air and low-pressure steam on standard flanges.

Hamza Fasteners stocks CAF-type sheet in general-purpose, oil-resistant and steam grades, 0.5 to 3 mm, as full sheets or cut gaskets. Plant maintenance teams, ship repair yards and pump workshops buy it to cut gaskets on site. Ask for the datasheet of the grade quoted to confirm temperature, pressure and fibre content. Contact our Dubai team for pricing.

Reference
ThicknessTypical UseNotes
0.5 mmMachined faces, covers, small housingsLowest creep, needs flat faces
0.8 mmPump and gearbox coversGood balance for machined parts
1.0 mmSmall flanges, fittingsCommon workshop thickness
1.5 mmRaised-face pipe flangesGeneral-purpose default
2.0 mmOlder or uneven flangesMore conformability
3.0 mmDamaged or warped facesHigher creep; re-torque after heat-up
Use the thinnest gasket that will take up flange irregularities; thinner sheet gives better blow-out and creep resistance.

FAQ

Common questions

Does your CAF sheet contain asbestos?
No. Asbestos is banned in the UAE, and the sheet we supply under the CAF name is asbestos-free compressed fibre. Ask for the datasheet of the specific grade if you need written confirmation for a project.
What is the difference between CAF and CNAF?
CAF is the traditional name, while CNAF explicitly means compressed non-asbestos fibre. In practice, current CAF-type sheet is a non-asbestos material; CNAF grades are usually specified by fibre type, such as aramid or glass, for defined pressure and temperature limits.
How do I cut gaskets from sheet?
Mark the bore and outside diameter, then cut with a sharp knife, gasket cutter or hollow punches for bolt holes. Keep the cut edges clean and do not apply grease unless the grade datasheet allows it.
Do you sell only full sheets?
No. We supply full sheets, part sheets and cut gaskets in standard ASME and PN sizes, and can cut special shapes to your drawing. Part sheets are useful for workshops that only need a few gaskets at a time.
What is the price of CAF gasket sheet in the UAE?
The price varies with size, material and quantity, and grade and thickness affect it, and part sheets are priced by area. Share your requirement on WhatsApp or by email and we will send a written quote from Dubai stock, with project and bulk rates where the volume allows.
Can you ship gasket sheet outside Dubai?
Yes. We deliver across the UAE from Deira, Dubai and dispatch to KSA, the wider GCC and Africa by road, sea or air freight. Sheets are rolled or packed flat to avoid creasing.
