Non-asbestos gland packings for pumps and valves

Non-asbestos gland packings are a type of sealing used to seal joints, typically in high-pressure or high-temperature systems. They are made from materials that do not contain asbestos. These packings are often used as an alternative to traditional asbestos seals, providing similar performance without the health risks associated with asbestos.

The main characteristics of Non-asbestos gland packings include:

Material: The packings are made from various materials that are resistant to high temperatures, aggressive media, and high pressure. These materials may include PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), graphite, aramid fibers (Kevlar), glass fibers, or other synthetic materials.

Flexibility: Non-asbestos gland packings are flexible and adaptable, allowing them to conform to different joint shapes and surfaces.

High Temperature and Pressure: These materials are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures commonly found in industrial environments.

Chemical Resistance: The Non-asbestos gland packings materials used in the packings are generally resistant to various chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Safety: One of the main advantages of Non-asbestos gland packings is that they do not contain asbestos, meaning they do not pose a risk of asbestos fibers that can be hazardous to health.
