Chem-2 Pump & Valve Packing

General service compression packing, rotary and valve applications 0–14 pH.

Features / Benefits

• Low coefficient of friction, self lubricating – increases equipment life & reliability MTBR (meantime between repairs).
• High strength fiber – reduces sleeve wear & maintenance costs.
• Universal packing applications – saves inventory costs.
• Easy to cut, install and remove.

Typical Applications

• Extreme chemical service.
• Acids, caustics and petroleum products.
• Higher shaft speeds than conventional Teflon™ packing.
• Soft conformable packing for broad range of pump and valve applications at medium pressures.
• Rotating equipment pumps, agitators, mixers, blenders, reciprocating pumps & valves.
• Universal packing applications.
