SMITH Gaskets exclusive distributor: Kroll & Ziller
SMITH Gaskets have signed an exclusive agreement to become the sole distributor for Kroll & Ziller's range of metal re-inforced rubber gaskets for low stress flange gasket applications with increased blow out resistance.
Stuart Phythian, General Manager states, "We are proud to have been appointed the exclusive distributor of Kroll & Ziller's full range of rubber gaskets in the Middle East and highlights our efforts to move away from the low quality range of gasket applications with products which offer sustainable and long lasting solutions for industry in the Middle East.
The increased infra-structure development and use of plastic piping throughout the region calls for higher integrity gasket solutions such as the GST range of gaskets manufactured by Kroll & Ziller in Germany.
Traditional rubber gaskets have limitations due to their higher seating stress requirements which means the GST-P design allows much lower seating stress (similar to an O ring) allowing use in lighter flanges and the wider section complete with steel core resists flange rotation & potential blow-out under high pressure.
SMITH hold a complete range of gaskets in stock to cater for emergency shutdowns and fast deliveries from stock"

SMITH Gaskets: Official GORE Distributor
SMITH Gaskets are the authorised distributor in Dubai, Northern Emirates & Oman for the full range of WL Gore's range of sealant products.
A comprehensive range of GORE products are held in stock to support the increased use of applications where chemical resistance requires more corrosion resistant products such as expanded PTFE.
Gore Sealants are among the world's tightest chemically-resistant gaskets. Made from 100 percent expanded PTFE, GORE® Gaskets are suitable for use throughout the entire pH range, except molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. These gaskets withstand temperatures from -268°C to 315°C (-450F to 600F), making them ideal for both high temperature and cryogenic applications.
The increased demands of low stress gasket applications such as slip-on flanges and Fiberglass (FRP) and Epoxy resin (GRE) pipework provides our customers with an alternative to traditional metal or semi-metallic gaskets with the low seating stress requirements of e-PTFE
