Flexible graphite packing are braided from flexible graphite yarns, which are reinforced by cotton fiber, glass fiber, carbon fiber, etc.
It has a very low friction, good thermal and chemical resistance and high elasticity.
It is a multi-service packing capable of a wide variety of uses throughout a plant. It can be used in valves, pumps, expansion joints, mixers and agitators in high-pressure, high-temperature hostile environments of hydrocarbon processing, pulp and paper, power stations, refineries and industries where effective sealing is vital. Precaution: in oxidizing environment. Recommendation: Use preferably with high carbon fiber anti-extrusion packing rings.
