CONSTRUCTION
Style 2030 is braided from meta-aramid yarn, each strand impregnated with PTFE-dispersion during the braiding process, lubricated with an inert mineral oil.
APPLICATION/SERVICE
The high mechanical strength of the meta-aramid fiber, combined with the elaborate braiding process, results in a soft and pliable packing wih excellent mechanical and chemical resistance. Because of the low coefficinet of friction, shaft wear is largely avoided, even at high shaft speeds. No excessive heat build-up between the packing rings and the turning shaft; the packing runs cool, remains soft and flexible, resulting in longer servce life. Style 2030 is recommended for all kinds of pumps, mixers, agitators, reactors, etc. for the chemical industry, pulp and paper, sewage plants and more. Suitable for use with a wide variety of media in many different processes, including water, sewage, steam, solvents, chemicals, acids and caustics, as well as general service applications where a mechanically strong packing is required.
