Braided from Carbon fiber

And Carbon-reinforced Expanded Graphite Tape

Characteristics:

  • Universal plant-wide use in static and rotating applications
  • Wear and extrusion stability through Carbon fiber reinforcement
  • Non-hardening, good reset capability, coefficient of thermal expansion corresponds to the coefficient of steel
  • High temperature resistance and excellent heat and electric conductivity
  • Self-lubricating, excellent use in pumps, minimizing the need of flush water
  • Easy to cut, assemble and disassemble
  • Low coefficient of friction minimizes the adjustment force in valves
  • No shaft wear, excellent dry running characteristics
  • Rings should be compressed in valve applications at assembly approx. 15 - 20% in height
  • Die-formed rings are recommended
