Product
Information
Type
VK5 combines the benefits of the remarkable properties of two
outstanding gland packing fibres. GFO has the best combination
of features of any packing fibre but it may extrude or deteriorate
in high mechanical loading conditions. The addition of DU PONT'S
KEVLAR adds steel-like strength. VK5 GFO KEVLAR combi-packing
is square inter-braided to add the strength of KEVLAR where
it is most needed on the corner-posts. KEVLAR fibres ore speedily
braided from the core to the corner-posts for dimensional stability
and to resist extrusion. The GFO yarns ore braided to the packing
surfaces to enhance smooth running and sealing capability.
VK5 is
THE packing for extended life in high pressure or mechanical
load conditions, particularly on worn or large tolerance equipment
and in the most demanding chemical environments. Shaft wear
is virtually eliminated, and high speeds and aggressive chemicals
can be handled, because of the presence of GFO on the sealing
faces. Extrusion and gland maintenance is negligible, even
in the most arduous of applications, due to the inter-locked
braiding of KEVLAR.
Applications
Type
VK5 combines mechanical strength with surface lubricity to
give a long lasting, high performance sealing, near universal
packing for use in all rotary, reciprocating and static gland
applications. |
