Style 2001 Braided Packing

Diagonally braided from pure graphite yarn with a minimum purity of 99 %, treated with corrosion inhibitor and densified with pure graphite powder.High performance packing for pumps and valves, primarily intended for high pressure- / high temperature steam valves and similar difficult sealing applications. Caters for a wide range of aggressive media at both very low and very high temperatures; low coefficient of friction for high torque operation; excellent thermal conductivity.
