PACKINGS |
| |
 |
Armoured Supasca XA
A core of braided glass yarn, coated with
graphite, and protected by a tough sleeve of braided copper wire. |
| |
 |
Duramid
A tough, high performance packing, cross-plaited from texturised aramid yarns. Each yarn is uniformly impregnated with PTFE dispersion and a silicone based lubricant that resists chemical attack at high temperatures. Although Duramid® is based on aramid fibre rather than PTFE, its exceptional qualities justify inclusion in this section alongside its sister products, Fluograf® and Hornet. |
| |
 |
Flexmet A Type M
A metallic packing comprising pure aluminium foil that is coated with high
quality petroleum oil and high purity flake
graphite. The foil is crinkled, then twisted
and folded over a core of graphite
lubricated glass yarns to form a dense,
strong packing that is deformable and
resilient. Lubricants are gradually released as the foil is deformed in the gland, to ensure long and consistent service. |
| |
 |
Fluocord
Resilient cord-type packing comprising a
covering of PTFE tape spirally wrapped
around a core of unsintered PTFE. This
construction enables the product to conform readily to any housing annulus
whilst at the same time resisting
extrusion. |
| |
 |
Fluograf
A highly versatile product that adds a new
dimension to compression packing
reliability and performance. Based on
WL Gore & Associates’ highly-developed
GFO® yarn – combining the benefits of
ePTFE, graphite and high temperature
lubricants – this cross-plaited packing
offers the ideal balance between density,
resilience, strength and durability. |
| |
 |
Fluolion® Filament D & L
Both Filament D and Filament L are
cross-plaited from tough thermally stable
PTFE fibre yarn. Filament D is impregnated and densified with particles
of PTFE, and the packing is cleaned of all
organic matter and volatile content.
Filament L is impregnated and densified
with particles of PTFE and contains an
inert running-in lubricant. |
| |
 |
Fluolion® Emulsion XA-P
A universal packing comprising a unique
synthetic yarn, densified with particles of
PTFE and treated with an advanced
silicone-free lubricant. The impregnated
yarns are cross-plaited over an
elastomeric core, which enables this
packing to absorb the eccentric actions
of worn shafts and bearings running in
very harsh environments. |
| |
 |
Fluolion Sturntite
Dense, robust packing, plaited from the
finest quality flax yarns, impregnated with
Fluolion® PTFE and petroleum-based
grease. Flax yarns are selected for
strength, durability, rot resistance and
lubricant retention properties. |
| |
 |
Hornet
A high performance packing that absorbs
the eccentric action of worn shafts and
bearings. It has a central core of temperature resistant elastomer. The
square sectioned packing is cross-plaited
with tough aramid fibres at the corners to
resist abrasion and wear. PTFE/graphite
yarn at the centre of each side dissipates
heat and presents a low friction face to
the shaft. |
| |
 |
Liongraf
A highly reliable pump and valve packing
of cross-plait construction, based on
graphite and PTFE yarn that is thermally
stabilised then lubricated with a silicone free compound. |
| |
|
 |
Ramiex
Versatile, high-performance packing, crossplaited from top-quality bleached ramie fibre yarns that are impregnated with an advanced PTFE dispersion lubricant. The result is a consistent packing of uniform density and compressibility.
Ramie, a tropical nettle plant, produces a
fibre of extreme durability, rot resistance and significantly greater strength than flax, cotton or hemp. |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
Supagraf® Moulded Rings
High efficiency graphite sealing rings, moulded to precise density and dimensions. Manufactured from expanded high purity graphite foil without the use of binders, elastomers or fillers. Also available as Wire Reinforced Supagraf® with an internal reinforcement of stainless steel wire, orientated in all planes for high loads; and as Passivated Supagraf®, containing a corrosion inhibitor to minimise galvanic action. |
