Self-sealing graphite packing is engineered for demanding environments where high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive or contamination-sensitive media are present. Its unique flexible graphite structure automatically expands under compression and fluid pressure, providing a tight, adaptive seal that compensates for wear and relaxation over time.
Widely used in power generation, chemical processing, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, this packing ensures long-lasting, low-friction sealing with minimal maintenance.
Adaptive Self-Sealing: Flexible graphite expands radially under load, filling gaps between shaft and stuffing box, ensuring a consistent, lifetime-tight seal.
Extreme Temperature & Chemical Resistance: Operates from -240°C to +600°C in non-oxidizing environments and resists most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
Excellent Self-Lubrication: Layered graphite structure reduces friction and wear, protecting shafts and extending equipment life.
Thermal Conductivity & Safety: Rapid heat dissipation prevents localized overheating; fire-resistant and contaminant-free for clean process applications.
Longevity & Reliability: Outperforms conventional packing, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance frequency.
Base Material: High-purity natural flake graphite or synthetic graphite processed into flexible graphite (expanded graphite) strips or yarn.
Reinforcement Options: Laminated metal foils (304, 316L stainless steel, Inconel), or blended with fibers (glass, carbon, Inconel alloy) for enhanced strength and extrusion resistance.
