Athena gaskets

Athena MLS gaskets are manufactured from high quality 301 stainless steel, consisting of 2-5 layers. Each layer is laser cut and embossed with an optimized forming process. All cylinder head gaskets undergo a stress relief process to significantly reduce induced stress formation.

All Athena MLS gaskets receive a two-part polymer coating after stress relief on the outer layers. This coating ensures micro sealing properties for engine oils/coolant and is able to withstand a variety of severe environments caused by engine heat cycles.

Ring gaskets are made from a reinforced M0115 material, recognized for being asbestos-free, OE homologated and high quality. These gaskets also stand out because they feature separate stainless steel rings (AISI 304) that ensure maximum tightness around the cylinder, even in engines with NOS and/or turbo applications where the pressure exceeds 2 bar. No machining of cylinder heads and blocks is required. Finally, the application of silicone beads in critical areas helps improve sealing around all water and oil cooling passages.
