PALMETTO PACKING Compression Seals

High-quality packing products, including high-temperature, white PTFE and injectible packings designed for creating pressure-tight bonds between the pumping equipment. Prevent leaks by forming a hermetic seal through an axial force that helps the seal to fill all voids around an element

Filter

Palmetto packing compression seals are engineered to seal a fluid. They are used to contain solvents, gases, water, acids, oil and other chemicals.

Features

  • Palmetto packing compression seals are used in pumps and steam valves and are capable of operating at low or no leak.
  • These high-temperature, white PTFE and injectable packings are suitable for producing pressure-tight bonds between the pumping equipment.
  • They stop leaks by creating a hermetic seal through an axial force that enables the seal to fill all openings around an element.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is gland packing employed?

Gland packing is used frequently for sealing the working fluid and preventing it along the stem in valves and the shaft in pumps.

Why is compression packing employed?

Compression packing is produced from various packing fibres. It eliminates leakage and improves the life of rotating equipment like pumps and valves.

How does the packing seal operate?

Packing seals fill in space and reduce fluid loss by wrapping rope-like materials around a pump's shaft.
