Palmetto 1382 Series Expanded PTFE with Graphite Compression Packing Seal, Dull Black, 3/8" Square, 5' Length

Key features

• Compression packing seal protects rotating pumps and valves from fluid leaks in applications with chemical or abrasive slurries
• Interwoven braid of ePTFE and graphite yarns provides resistance to harsh chemicals and dissipates heat
• Inert lubricant extends packing life by reducing break-in time and frictional heat
• Maximum pressure limit of 1,900 psi
• Operates across a wide temperature range from -400 to 550 degrees F (-240 to 288 degrees C)

This Palmetto style 1382 expanded PTFE and graphite compression packing seal with an inert lubricant protects rotating pumps and valves from fluid leaks in chemical or abrasive slurry applications. The interwoven braided packing seal combines yarns made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and graphite to provide a seal that withstands harsh chemicals and handles high shaft speeds. ePTFE is a strong, flexible material that exhibits the same characteristics as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), such as low friction and resistance to harsh chemicals, but has a more porous, conformable structure that accepts lubricant better and helps reduce leak-off in applications with irregular surfaces and gaps. Graphite yarn transfers heat away from the shaft to prevent glazing and scoring, extending the packing and sleeve life. It handles high temperatures, high shaft speeds, and exhibits a low coefficient of friction for reduced shaft wear. An inert lubricant improves break-in time, reduces frictional heat, and prevents the packing from spinning with the shaft or stem, reducing the chance of wear and extending the packing life. This packing seal is compatible with media in the pH range of 0
