 KEVLAR
FIBER PACKING
It is manufactured from Du Pont¨s Kevlar yarn
impregnated with PTFE dispersion and treated with lubricant,
braided into square cross section. This packing is used in
higher-pressure applications than are normally tolerated by other
types of braid packing. Because of the steel-like strength of this
yarn, it can be employed separately or as back-up rings with other
types of packing to combine different features into a packing set.
This packing has been developed to replace asbestos packing for
pump systems. It covers all the service ranges which asbestos
packing provides and more. It affords longer life under severe
conditions which conventional asbestos packing cannot provide
satisfactorily, such as sand slurry tin mining, paper slurry, feed
water pump of power stations, etc. |
