CONSTRUCTION
Style 2000 packing is manufactured from high purity flexible graphite that is expanded and formed into a braidable yarn and then braided without binders or wire reinforcement. The finished product retains all the inherent benefits of flexible graphite: heat resistance, chemical inertness, low friction, self lubrication, and ready conformability.
APPLICATION/SERVICE
The outstanding properties of this style make it a truly multi-service packing capable of a wide variety of uses throughout a plant. This style may be used in valves, pumps, expansion joints, mixers and agitators in the hostile environments of hydrocarbon processing, pulp and paper, power generation, metal-working and other industries where effective sealing is vital.
