Palmetto 1389 packing seal or gland seal is designed to seal a variety of fluids. It is used to contain solvents, gases, water, acids, oils and other chemicals.

Features:

• Palmetto Packing 1389 packing seal secures valves, pumps and other components from fluid leaks in general service and light slurry applications.
• It features oriented virgin ePTFE yarn heavily loaded with super-pure graphite powder to soak lubricants, withstand harsh chemicals and disperse heat.
• It comes with an inert lubricant to improve packing life by decreasing break-in time and frictional heat.
• This compression packing seal operates at temperatures ranging from -400 to 550 degrees F.
• In order to function as a seal in pumps or valves, it can be sliced and moulded into individual rings.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does the packing seal operate?

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

Q. Why is compression packing used?

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

Q. What is the advantage of gland packing?

A. Gland packing is a shaft seal which is used by mechanical engineers. In some applications, gland packing is used over mechanical seals for dealing with aggressive fluids. If there is any leakage, then it can be modified while the pump is in service.
