  • Publication number: 20070112122
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a coating for application to a substrate, whereby the coating comprises at least one thermoplastic fluorine-containing polymer, and its hardness decreases from the first surface, which is destined for application to the substrate, in the direction of the second surface which is remote from the substrate. The hardness gradient can be achieved by adding filling or reinforcing agents or by addition of at least one thermoplastic polymer. The invention additionally pertains to a gasket that consists of the coating in accordance with the invention or that comprises it.

  • Publication number: 20040239042
    Abstract: Cylinder head gasket which has at least on one side elevations which form gasket sealing surfaces, which surround at least one aperture of the cylinder head gasket in an enclosed manner, for pressing against at least one engine component sealing surface and the height profile of which is designed prior to the installation of the cylinder head gasket to correspond at least approximately to the topography of the sealing gap to be sealed and resulting when a cylinder head gasket is installed, the respective combustion chamber openings of the cylinder head gasket being encircled by these elevations individually, wherein the elevations are formed by at least one basic member provided with a coating, the material of the basic member being selected in such a manner and its cross section being configured in such a manner that the basic member is not deformable in height at least in first sections of the gasket sealing surfaces under the maximum load occurring during the installation of the cylinder head gasket as wel
