Fluid Sealing Asbestos & Non Asbestos Gland Packing
MI-3908 is a duplex braided packing braided from a unique copolymer fiber yarn. This packing is impregnated with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) dispersion with further incorporation of a break-in and surface run-in lubricant. The PTFE dispersion makes the packing dense and conformable while enhancing the ability of the packing to be easily installed and removed with excellent pliability. The break-in lubricant lowers the coefficient of friction of the packing and ensures cooler shaft runs during longtime run of the equipments, thus, avoiding erosion of sleeves/shaft. This packing has very high strength and tenacity resulting in an excellent resistance to abrasive media. The packing also shows very good resistance to corrosive and aggressive media.
Also Available : MI-3908PL - Pure Aramid Filament Packing With Proprietary PTFE Based Dispersion.

FAQ
Gland packing is a type of sealing material used to fill the space between a rotating shaft and a stationary housing or between two mating parts in a mechanical system. It is used to prevent the leakage of fluids, gases, or other materials from the system. Gland packing works by using the pressure and friction generated by the movement of the shaft to create a seal.
In a mechanical seal, gland packing is used to fill the space between the rotating shaft and the stationary seal housing. It is used to prevent leakage of the fluid being sealed and to maintain the pressure within the system.
There are several types of Asbestos & Non Asbestos Gland Packings, including Pure PTFE Gland Packing, Pure PTFE Graphite Packing, Pure Aramid Packing, Aramid & PTFE Combination Packing, Aramid & PTFE Graphite Packing, Premium Expanded Graphite Packing, Ramie Fiber Packing etc.
To properly install gland packing in a sealing application, the packing should be lubricated and then carefully packed into the gland or seal housing. The gland should then be tightened to the appropriate torque to compress the packing and create a seal.
The main benefit of using gland packing in a sealing application is that it is a relatively simple and cost-effective way to create a seal. It is also relatively easy to install and maintain.
The choice of gland packing material can significantly affect the performance of the seal. Different materials have different properties and are suitable for different applications. For example, PTFE packing is resistant to chemicals, but for high temperatures, it may not be as durable as other materials.
