Fluid Sealing Asbestos & Non-Asbestos Gland Packing: Superior Performance & Safety

Our comprehensive range of gland packing offers reliable sealing solutions for a wide variety of applications, encompassing both traditional asbestos-based and modern, safer non-asbestos alternatives. We cater to diverse industrial needs, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with the latest safety regulations.

Asbestos Gland Packing: (For Legacy Systems & Specific Applications Only - Consult Safety Regulations)

Please note: While we offer asbestos gland packing for specific legacy equipment needs, we strongly advise considering the health risks associated with asbestos and recommend exploring non-asbestos alternatives whenever possible. The use of asbestos-containing materials is subject to stringent regulations; ensure compliance before use.

• Material: High-quality asbestos fiber, braided with various reinforcing materials (specifications available upon request).
• Applications: Suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure applications where compatibility with specific fluids is critical. (Consult our technical data sheets for specific fluid compatibilities.)
• Features:
  • Excellent resistance to high temperatures and pressures.
  • Exceptional chemical resistance to many fluids and gases.
  • Durable and long-lasting performance.
• Limitations: Significant health hazards associated with asbestos exposure. Use is restricted in many jurisdictions. Requires careful handling and disposal.

Non-Asbestos Gland Packing: Safe, Reliable, and Versatile

Our non-asbestos gland packing offers superior sealing performance without the health risks associated with asbestos. These packings are engineered using advanced materials to provide excellent durability and compatibility with a wide range of fluids and operating conditions.

• Materials: A range of non-asbestos materials are available, including:
  • PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Exceptional chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, and low friction. Ideal for aggressive chemicals and high-temperature applications.
  • Graphite: Excellent thermal conductivity, chemical resistance, and self-lubricating properties. Suitable for various high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
  • Aramid Fiber: High tensile strength, good chemical resistance, and excellent thermal stability. A versatile option for many applications.
  • Other blends: Custom blends of materials can be tailored to meet specific application requirements (contact us for details).
• Applications: Suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, including:
  • Chemical processing
  • Oil and gas
  • Water treatment
  • Pulp and paper
  • Power generation
• Features:
  • Superior chemical resistance
  • Excellent temperature and pressure resistance (varies by material)
  • Low friction, reducing wear and tear
  • Environmentally friendly and safe to handle
  • Long lifespan and reduced maintenance

Choosing the Right Gland Packing:

Selecting the appropriate gland packing depends on several factors including:

• Fluid being sealed: Chemical compatibility is crucial.
• Operating temperature and pressure: The packing must withstand these conditions.
• Shaft speed and surface finish: This influences friction and wear.
• Regulatory compliance: Ensure compliance with relevant safety and environmental regulations.
