Gaskets cut from sheet packing were used in a variety of industrial settings. Sheet packing was used in engine parts and other mechanical applications to resist the effects of steam, high pressure, water, oil and other chemicals. Chrysotile asbestos was traditionally used in the product, but in acidic environments some crocidolite was also used to prevent erosion. Gasket material and heat seals made from asbestos sheet packing were used in mechanical systems that involved the transport of gases, hot oils, steam, chemicals, grease or acid.
