PTFE packing with graphite filling intertwined with aramid type EPA/Z
This packing uses excellent properties of the premium PTFE yarn supplementing it with generally known mechanical strength of aramid. A special strand enables to strengthen the packing with aramid, evenly throughout the section. Thanks to even intertwining of aramid and PTFE strands we obtain packing well aligning in the chamber with simultaneous low friction rate and high mechanical strength.
Application
The packing is used in rotational pumps and other devices operating in the environment of water, hot water, solutions of salt, most acids and alkali, fuels, oils and solvents and suspensions of solid particles in these utilities. Main recipients are: chemical, artificial fertilizers and food industry.
