aramid with ptfe gland packing aramid rope spun kevlar packing

Specifications

Braided from shrink-proof synthetic fiber impregnated with PTFE, silicon-oil-free, which is oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber. 

Carbonized Fiber Packing:  Compared to traditional carbon fiber packing, it is not brittle, can suited for high peripheral speeds and food industries. Oxidized fiber has high strength and good thermal conductivity, PTFE makes the packing have excellent self-lubrication, so this packing does not damage shafts and has long life.

APPLICATION:  It can be used in weak acids and alkalis or media containing few grains of solid particles, both dynamic and static, mainly used for centrifugal pumps, plunger pumps, mixers and valves.Without cooling it can be used with hot water up to 160°C , with cooling it can be used with hot water up to 207°C. Particularly ideal for hot water, condensate and main coolant pumps.

PARAMETER:

What difference does the color make? 
- The color is really just to make it easier to differentiate between different material durometers.
So why do you have some different colors for the same durometer?
- The answer to that is simply “Give the people what they want!” Some of our customers maintain that certain colors work better for them than another in the same mixture. Whenever we can, we’ll accomodate that.
What’s better, a smooth or a textured surface?
- It depends on what works best for your application. Some customers need a smooth surface for high-gloss finishes. Some prefer a textured or matte surface toward the heating platen for improved heat transfer. Some use the textured or matte surface down toward the foil to get a slightly different sheen on their foil, or to prevent darker foils from scuffing.
