Style 2004 Braided Packing
Style 2004 is an interlock braided packing using aramid yarn treated with PTFE impregnation. The packing is also lubricated with a silicon-based compound for quick and easy break-in.Style 2004 is an extremely durable packing able to withstand granular and abrasive applications. It is recommended for service in superheated steam, slurries, petroleum derivatives, solvents and liquified gases. It is commonly used in centrifugal, rotary and reciprocating pumps, agitators and mixers, especially in the paper, steel, petroleum and chemical industries, and in sewage treatment plants.
