Non asbestos gland packing

Non asbestos packing, often referred to as gland packing non asbestos, is engineered as a modern alternative to asbestos-based sealing materials. It is braided from synthetic fibers—such as acrylic, rayon, aramid blends, or graphite-treated yarns—designed to provide mechanical strength, chemical compatibility, and long-term sealing efficiency in industrial equipment. This type of packing is suitable for applications requiring cleaner operation, lower shaft wear, and improved safety standards.

 Key Features 

• · Asbestos-Free Construction: Made entirely from synthetic fibers, offering a safer and cleaner sealing solution while still delivering strong mechanical integrity.
• · Low Friction Operation: Special lubricants or PTFE dispersions reduce friction during start-up and continuous running, preventing heat buildup and minimizing wear on shafts.
• · Versatile Chemical Resistance: Compatible with water, oils, mild acids, alkalis, and a wide range of process fluids, making it suitable for general industrial use.
• · Dimensional Stability: Maintains shape under gland pressure and resists extrusion, ensuring consistent sealing performance across varied operating conditions.
• · Extended Service Life: Formulated to work under continuous loads with minimal adjustments, reducing downtime and maintenance requirements.

 Applications 

1. 1. Ideal for centrifugal and reciprocating pumps handling water, chemicals, lubricants, and light slurries.
2. 2. Provides reliable sealing for gate, globe, and control valves in water treatment, chemical plants, and utility systems.
3. 3. Performs well in slow- to medium-speed rotary equipment requiring a stable and clean sealing interface.
4. 4. Used widely in food processing, paper mills, textile plants, power stations, and marine systems where asbestos-free materials are mandatory.
