Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically conductive foil made of a thermoplastic matrix and conductive reinforcement fibers, wherein the conductive fibers are disposed in the conductive foil in an approximately isotropic manner, and a method for the production thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sealing materials free from asbestos or other inorganic fibrous substances in the form of papers, paperboards, cardboards or plates. The gasket compositions preferably comprise a mixture of non-fibrillated organic fibers having an elongation at break of < 5% (up to 200.degree. C.) and fibrillated P polyaramide fibers as well as, powdered graphite and an elastomeric resin binder. A new and improved process for making non-woven, planar sealing materials free from asbestos or other inorganic fibrous substances, is also provided. The reinforcement-forming and sheet-forming organic fibers, binders and fillers are homogenized in a mixer and the mixture is subsequently treated with heat and pressure to form the non-woven webs.

Abstract: The invention relates to an asbestos-free material for use as sealing, damping and/or separating element comprising an elastomer matrix which apart from the usual process fibers and elastic binders include lamellar inorganic material in an amount of 10 to 60% by weight with respect to the total mass.
