Vegetable Fiber Packing

Style 2 Vegetable Fiber

Construction: Square Braid
Features: Vegetable fibers.
Treatment: Lubricated with a pure edible tallow and wax compound, ungraphited.
Equipment: Reciprocating and rotary shafts, plungers, hydraulic rams and stern tubes.
Recommended For: Brine, cold water and cold oil. High shaft speeds. High pressure rams and accumulators.
Limitations: Shafts speeds to 1885 FPM; temperatures to 220°/100°C; pH range 5 - 9.

Style 2GR: Same as style 2 except graphited.

Style 219 Vegetable Fiber/PTFE Packing

Construction: Square Braid
Features: Highest quality vegetable fiber; bark, coarse and short fibers have been removed.
Treatment: Impregnated with PTFE dispersion and a special break-in oil. 
Equipment: Reciprocating and rotary shafts. Our best stern tube packing.
Recommended For: Brine, cold water and cold oil.
Limitations: Shaft speeds to 1855 FPM; temperatures to 220°F/104°C; pH range 5 - 9.
Remarks: PTFE impregnate acts as: (1) a surface leveler filling any surface voids. (2) a saturate to prevent wicking. (3) a lubricant to reduce friction and heat. (4) a protective shield around flax fibers, preventing fluid penetration and fiber break down.
