Braided Packing
Style #50/50
PATENTED
 Maximum values-temperature, pH and speed-should not be combined on any one application without careful consultation. Common sense balancing of factors is always wise. As with any product designed to operate in critical operations, this product and its installation must be clearly understood. In addition, the user should have full knowledge of the operating considerations of the equipment in which it is to be installed. |
Description A combination of 50% DuPont Teflon-impregnated and treated Kevlar Aramid yarn and 50% fiberglass. These are twisted together to form individual strands, creating a continuous interaction between the two fibrous elements, the strands are then cross-lock braided. The finished braid is PTFE-impregnated and a silicon oil starter lubricant is then applied. Characteristics The intimate “all-points” combination of the fiberglass and Kevlar yarns permits the fiberglass to conduct heat away from the Kevlar throughout the packing mass, thereby building in increased dimensional stability and constant sealing effectiveness. The added fiberglass and substantial PTFE permeation increases chemical resistance. This is a denser, less porous packing than conventional all-Kevlar styles. Thus, it tends not to roll in the stuffing box and is less able to extrude. STYLE 50/50 has high run-out deflection. Its superior density reduces migration of particles and pressure.
