Braided Packing

Style #50/52


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% Teflon impregnated, high strength synthetic yarn and 50% "C" filament 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 fully penetrated with PTFE impregnate and a high temperature mineral oil starter lubricant is applied.

Characteristics
The intimate "all-points" combination of the fiberglass and synthetic yarn permits the fiberglass to conduct heat away from the shaft and the synthetic fiber throughout the packing mass, thereby aiding dimensional stability and constant sealing effectiveness. The added "C" filament fiberglass and substantial PTFE permeation increase chemical resistance. It's superior density reduces migration of particles under pressure.

Reported Values of Performance

Temperature to 500 F
PH 1-12

Excellent as a superior general service pump packing. Ideal for all applications on the "white" or paper side on the Paper Industry. Very "easy" on shafts.
