I currently represent the leading US manufacturer of 100% non-asbestos gasket materials (Interface Solutions, Inc.) and have lived and worked in China for the past several years promoting the same. The article is spot on regarding product drift within the context of Chinese produced fiber gasket materials. While most in country gasket material producers have the capability to manufacture non-asbestos materials, the products quite simply don’t meet the demands of the applications they are intended to seal. Asbestos gasket materials are much easier to produce and are far less costly. The OEM’s have been assured by their Tier I suppliers that there is no asbestos within the products/parts they buy. Unfortunately, the OEM’s don’t have the capabilities to test for asbestos content and they rely on the supply base which is quite suspect. Chery and Great Wall are just two of many OEM’s that are buying asbestos gaskets. Many of the brands we are familiar with in the States also contain Chinese made asbestos gaskets. Several MNC’s within China that are either WOFE’s or JV’s also source from these same producers of gaskets that supply Chery and Great Wall.

OODA loop,
Chinese shills may NOT want to mention that in 2011, China RECALLED 1.83 million cars for safety DEFECTS…UP 55% FROM 2010 (nice safety trend!). Chinese-made vehicles accounted for 93.7% of these vehicles vs. 6.3% imported brands! “Don’t ride in a Cherry as it may crush your berries.” Ha ha!
Not to mention that China’s traffic death toll per 100K vehicles is nearly twice that of most civilized countries. I’ve been there and they drive like maniacs.
