White PTFE Packing with Aramid Corners does exactly that. This innovative hybrid packing features a body of high-purity white PTFE reinforced with aramid fiber corners. The result is a sealing material that delivers:
Excellent chemical resistance (from PTFE)
High mechanical strength (from aramid)
Low friction and non-abrasive (from PTFE)
Enhanced corner strength (from aramid reinforcement)
This design makes it an ideal choice for pumps, valves, and rotating equipment handling aggressive media while requiring long service life and minimal shaft wear.

The white PTFE body resists almost all chemicals, including strong acids, alkalis, solvents, and oxidizers, across the full pH range of 0–14.
High Mechanical Strength
Aramid corners provide reinforcement where packing experiences the most stress, preventing extrusion and deformation under high pressure.
PTFE's naturally low coefficient of friction (0.05–0.09) minimizes wear on shafts and valve stems, extending equipment life.
Suitable for continuous operation from -200°C to +260°C, making it versatile for cryogenic and high-temperature applications.
The hybrid construction maintains a tight seal even under pressure fluctuations, reducing leakage and maintenance frequency.
Can be cut and installed on-site without special tools.
