Construction & Design

The Cometic MLS gasket features a sophisticated multi-layer steel design composed of several embossed stainless steel layers. This construction provides exceptional strength and the ability to maintain a reliable seal by rebounding under pressure. The outermost layers are coated with Viton, a durable fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent resistance to heat, oil, and chemical degradation, enhancing sealing performance in harsh engine environments.

The center shim layer is made from uncoated stainless steel, allowing precise thickness control to meet specific engine requirements. This layered design not only improves durability but also ensures consistent sealing performance through thermal cycling and mechanical stresses common in high-performance and heavy-duty applications.
