Reliable gland packing (compression packing) is one of the most cost-effective ways to control leakage, improve uptime, and meet environmental requirements in industrial fluid systems. Whether you’re sealing a pump shaft, agitator, or valve stem, the packing material you choose [...]
Rubber parts (often called rubber components or rubber molded parts) are used everywhere—seals, grommets, diaphragms, sleeves, bumpers, rollers, and countless custom shapes. What makes rubber unique is that it starts as a linear polymer and [...]
Expanded PTFE gasket tape is a sealing material offered as continuous, white, 100% ePTFE tape. It is known for its excellent flexibility, compression resilience, and ease of installation, making it a popular choice in various [...]
PTFE has the advantages of heat resistance, insulation, chemical resistance, and friction resistance. It also has the disadvantages of insufficient wear resistance and creep properties. These shortcomings can cause damage to shaft bearings and load-bearing [...]
Elastomers are used to make various sealants. Although there are different types of gaskets, rubber gaskets have specific characteristics and are designed for specific industrial applications. In this blog, we will introduce the various characteristics [...]
PTFE stands for polytetrafluoroethylene. Nonstick material also goes by the name Teflon. It is made of low-friction materials and can resist huge temperature changes. PTFE has the characteristics of high density and strong flexibility. It is non-toxic because it is chemically non-reactive [...]
For rotary pumps, reciprocating pumps, mixers, and valve stuffing boxes, aramid PTFE braided packing delivers reliable sealing with self-lubrication, chemical resistance, easy installation, and asbestos-free compliance. This design addresses the typical pain points seen in [...]
Metal Jacketed gaskets (MJGs) and spiral wound gaskets (SWGs) are effective sealing gaskets for high-temperature, high-pressure, and chemical applications. While both are semi-metallic gaskets, they seal differently, install differently, and are used in different applications. [...]
PTFE gaskets are Polytetrafluoroethylene Gaskets, which are also known as Pure PTFE gaskets or Teflon gaskets. They are made from PTFE rods, pipes, and sheets that are mechanically machined or cut into flat gaskets, V-shaped [...]
The PTFE braided packing is made from woven polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers and possesses excellent flexibility and corrosion resistance. It maintains PTFE strength in high-temperature and humid environments and is easy to install and remove. PTFE [...]
