Phelps offers Hatch Packing in Natural Rubber (open cell sponge), which is an excellent material for general purpose use. The sponge core has a strong solid skin to reduce damage on the packing surface, and is fabricated from a strong natural rubber offering the best compression and a minimum wear. We also offer Neoprene Rubber for higher temperature and ozone resistance. Upon special request, we offer Nitrile Rubber as well for use in applications requiring gas and oil resistance.
