Metaloflex® from ElringKlinger: The internationally acknowledged brand name for innovative, multi-layer metal cylinder-head gaskets (CHG), made of beaded, elastomer-coated, spring-steel layers and consisting of a single layer or multiple layers depending on the actual application. Thanks to its modular design elements, this sealing system can be tuned exactly to the technical requirements of the individual engine. This means that many repetitive tasks are no longer necessary, saving both time and money. Providing almost unlimited freedom to designers.
The technical strengths of the multi-layer metal CHG are especially beneficial when used on high-performance spark-ignition engines and diesel engines with direct injection. This sealing system undisputedly ranks in first place in the passenger car market worldwide. Thanks to Metaloflex®, ElringKlinger is the world's largest manufacturer of multi-layer metal cylinder-head gaskets.

| Sealing know-how, layer by layer. Optimum interaction between the various layers guarantees the effectiveness and reliability of the overall system. |
The stopper is made of cold-rolled strip material or stainless steel in a forming or welding process. Together with the fold-over section of the carrier layer, it forms a camber on the combustion chamber circumference. As the first static sealing area for the combustion gases, the stopper also serves to limit the displacement of the full beads. The engine parts are elastically pre-stressed on the circumference of the stopper. As a result, the vibrations that are caused in the sealing gap by the gas force are reduced.
Half beads
The half beads generate two-line compression. They seal along the coolant and engine-oil passages, along the bolt holes and around the outer gasket circumference.
Full beads
The full beads generate three-line compression on the combustion chamber circumference. These elastic sealing elements enable the sealing of very high ignition pressures, even if large dynamic vibrations occur in the sealing gap.
Functional layers
Spring-steel functional layers with dynamic beads.
Carrier layer
The primary function of the carrier layer is to adapt the thickness of the gasket to the design-specific installation conditions.
