Graphite impregnated packing gland rope

 Graphite Gland Rope Data Sheet 

The graphite compression packing is a high-performance sealing material designed for reliable operation in dynamic and static applications. It is manufactured by braiding strong base fibers—such as acrylic, aramid, or PTFE—and impregnating them with fine graphite particles and lubricants to improve thermal conductivity and reduce wear. This construction provides an optimal balance between mechanical strength, flexibility, and sealing efficiency. The graphite impregnation forms a stable, low-friction surface that resists glazing and shaft damage, allowing extended service intervals even under fluctuating temperatures and pressures.

 Key Properties 

1. 1. Excellent heat dissipation and self-lubricating behavior
2. 2. Reduced shaft wear and energy consumption
3. 3. Chemical resistance to water, steam, and most industrial fluids
4. 4. Consistent performance under high-speed or high-pressure conditions
5. 5. Suitable for both rotary and reciprocating motion

 Applications 

1. 1. Pumps, valves, and mixers in chemical and refinery plants
2. 2. Steam and condensate service lines
3. 3. Water treatment, pulp and paper, and power generation industries
4. 4. General mechanical sealing systems requiring high reliability

Each graphite gland rope is precision-braided and treated for uniform density, ensuring long-lasting sealing performance and reduced maintenance needs across diverse industrial systems.
