Graphite/ PTFE Packing - Style: 2024
Graphite/PTFE /High Temp Lube/Centerlock
Centerlock® braided from pure CPL fiber. This packing is comparable to GFO® fiber in performance but at a lower cost. CPL fiber is made of: Carbon, a high purity graphite; Polytetrafluroethylene, PTFE; and high temperature inert Lubricant. This unique packing has a graphite content of over 50%. That means CPL fiber is one of only two yarns to achieve this high graphite content. The end result of this high graphite content is longer wear, better heat transfer, and a broad pH range. Less than 50% PTFE in the yarn makes this packing kinder to the shaft while retaining good abrasion resistance.
Lubricant: High Temperature Inert
