This packing is plaited from multi -filament yarns - high strength aromatic polyamide in the corner strands and PTFE/graphite on the seam strands. This is made possible by using the 'Crossplait' construction. Positioning the high strength fibre at the corners gives maximum resistance to extrusion and also provides god water resisting properties at the critical point within the gland. The graphite/PTFE yarn on the sides of the packing improves thermal conductivity, permitting rapid heat transfer from the shaft which gives cooler running . The combination of aramid/PTFE/graphite fibre offers the best compromise for applications with fluids containing solids, such as, abrasive particles or fibres in suspension.
