Kaxite corrugated graphite tape is produced from ≥99% carbon expanded graphite and rolled into a wave-profile ribbon. Unlike flat graphite tape, the corrugation creates controlled compression points that recover against pitted, warped or thermally cycled sealing faces. This makes corrugated graphite tape a practical choice for valve stem packing, pump stuffing boxes, flange repair and heat exchanger gasket replacement where a pre-cut ring cannot conform.
Corrugated graphite tape is supplied in 0.2–1.5 mm thickness and 3–100 mm slit widths, with optional pressure-sensitive adhesive, stainless steel wire, tanged metal or fiberglass mesh reinforcement. Buyers commonly specify corrugated graphite tape alongside expanded graphite gaskets and spiral wound gaskets in steam and hydrocarbon service.
MOQ from 50 kg or 100–200 rolls per specification · free small samples for line trials · custom slitting and die-cut rolls · ISO 9001 Ningbo factory; certificate details available on request · bulk orders and OEM packaging available.

Internal test data; third-party report available on request. Oxidizing limit depends on media and cycle frequency. Values depend on density, reinforcement and batch; the actual production certificate is supplied with each lot. For high-volume die-formed ring production, pair corrugated graphite tape with our die-formed graphite ring tooling. Specification last verified: October 2026.
Wrap and compress corrugated graphite tape in the stuffing box. The tape suits small-diameter valves and emergency leak repair when pre-made rings are not on site.
Corrugated graphite tape conforms to pitted, warped or rusted flange faces and is often used with graphite sheet as a backup sealing layer.
Field-cut or wound corrugated graphite tape replaces failed gaskets in steam and thermal oil service without a full shutdown ring inventory.
Plant teams use corrugated graphite tape as free-size packing where shaft dimensions vary; the adhesive-backed version simplifies positioning during installation.
Kaxite Sealing runs corrugated graphite tape production in Ningbo, Zhejiang, from a facility with more than three decades of sealing-material engineering experience. Standard MOQ starts at 50 kg or 100–200 rolls per specification and is negotiable for trial orders. Kaxite Sealing supports custom slit widths from 3 mm, adhesive backing, wire or mesh reinforcement, private-label packaging and die-cut rolls for automated gasket lines.
Line-trial workflow: send media, temperature, flange finish and annual volume; Kaxite returns a specification match and a free sample; the customer runs a gland or flange trial and shares compression and leak results; Kaxite reviews the data and recommends density or reinforcement adjustments. Factory visits and video audits are welcome by appointment. ISO 9001 certificate details are available on request and linked from the About page.
If you are comparing corrugated graphite tape against other gasket tape constructions, send your media, temperature, flange finish and annual volume. Kaxite Sealing will return a specification match and a free sample for line trial, freight collect.
