Flexible reinforced gasket

A reinforced gasket material comprising:

• a first gasket material layer;
• a second gasket material layer;
• and
• a non-metallic scrim layer interposed between the first gasket material layer and the second gasket material layer and having an organic binding agent coated on the non-metallic scrim layer;
• wherein the first gasket material layer and the second gasket material layer comprise a high-temperature sealing material that is operable in temperatures ranging from 850° F. to 2,000° F. (454.44° C. to 1093.33° C.), the high-temperature sealing material comprising:
• 80 wt % or greater non-oxidizing high temperature filler, wherein the non-oxidizing high temperature filler is a non-oxidizing high temperature silicate filler;
• 20 wt % or less high temperature fiber, wherein the high temperature fiber is selected from the group consisting of ceramic fibers, mineral wools, and glass fibers;
• and
• 6 wt % or less binding agent, wherein the binding agent is the same organic binding agent as used to coat the non-metallic scrim layer, wherein the organic binding agent is selected from a group of organic binding agents consisting of nitrile-butadiene resin (NBR) and styrene-butadiene resin (SBR).
