This packing is used in a variety of applications including steam valves, mixers, agitators and static sealing. It is inert to all acids, alkalis and solvents, except strong oxidizing media. It also has exceptional thermal conductivity, which helps it dissipate the heat generated by a rotating shaft.PTFE gland packing is a high-performance, non-corrosive, pliable, low friction and low energy seal for pumping CARBON FIBER PACKING equipment. It offers excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of aggressive fluids, including strong acids, bases and solvents.The PTFE dispersion also increases the packing’s lubrication properties by reducing friction between the shaft and the ring during start-up and break-in. This reduces wear and minimizes downtime.These can be used to replace asbestos filler and are easy to install, remove and maintain. They are a great alternative to mechanical seals and have a lower initial cost.The PTFE/graphite combination is particularly good for mixing valves, soot blowers and other rotating equipment that sees temperatures below 288-deg C (550-deg F). Graphite’s superior thermal conductivity promotes heat transfer away from the shaft, which extends the life of the packing and pump.
