FAQs about our packing materials

  • What are gland packings and where are they used?

    Gland packings are sealing materials used in pumps, valves and pistons to help prevent fluid or gas leaks. They fill the gap between moving and stationary components, creating a reliable seal in demanding operating environments. Available in materials such as PTFE and graphite, gland packings can be matched to different pressure ranges, temperatures and chemical conditions.

  • What is the advantage of using PTFE gland packing?

    PTFE gland packing offers excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and performs across a broad temperature range. This makes it a strong choice for applications in chemical processing, food production and other environments where clean, reliable sealing is essential. It can handle pressures up to 150 bar and temperatures up to 260°C, while remaining inert across a pH range of 0 to 14.

  • When should I use adhesive-backed tape like Fibreglass Woven Web Tape?

    Adhesive-backed tapes such as Fibreglass Woven Web Tape are ideal for thermal insulation and sealing in high-temperature areas, including furnaces and boilers. The adhesive backing allows the tape to stay in place without extra fixings, making installation faster and more convenient. It provides a durable solution for applications requiring resistance up to 550°C.

  • Can Graphite Tape be used in extreme temperatures?

    Yes. Graphite Tape is designed for extreme temperature environments, with performance from -200°C to 500°C. Its excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance make it a dependable option for high-temperature sealing and gasketing applications across industrial settings.

  • What is the purpose of a packing extractor?

    A packing extractor helps remove old, worn or compacted gland packing material from pump and valve stuffing boxes. Available in different lengths and fitted with replaceable tips, these tools make maintenance faster, cleaner and more efficient. They are especially useful when packing needs to be replaced as part of routine servicing.

  • What are the benefits of using Greasy Hemp Packing in marine and hydraulic industries?

    Greasy Hemp Packing is valued in marine and hydraulic applications for its strength, natural lubrication and dependable sealing performance. It works well in wet environments and lower-temperature settings up to 120°C. This makes it a practical option for older equipment where modern materials may not always provide the best fit.

  • When would I choose a solid shaft packing extractor over other types?

    A solid shaft packing extractor is a good choice when you need to remove tough, compacted packing materials. Its robust construction gives it the strength needed for demanding maintenance work, while the ergonomic design and replaceable tips support easier handling. It is a useful tool for environments where packing glands need regular inspection or replacement.
