PTFE Packing

PTFE packing use for chemical resistance when no other option is suitable. It is braided with a LATTICE ™ construction to make it dimensionally stable and firm. A PTFE dispersion impregnation provides a low friction surface and prevents leakage through the braid.

Aramid Packing

Extremely durable, highly abrasion-resistant para-aramid fiber packing impregnated with PTFE and treated with a high-temperature lubricant for ease of installation. Most para-aramid fiber packings i\\are designed for strength, not sealability. That is what makes Style 5200 different from other aramid packings; we incorporate a PTFE lubrication system to make it a better pump shaft seal.
