CHEM-II GFO General Service Packing (GORE®)
This durable, high-performance packing is easy to install and remove, and can be used in a wide range of conditions and applications: from sealing
shafts on high-speed pumps, mixers and agitators, to virtually any equipment with rotating or reciprocating shafts. Unlike ordinary PTFE/graphite packings, packings with 100% GORE GFO fiber withstand extended run-times at high speeds without becoming hard or brittle.
- Low coefficient of friction, self lubricating – increases equipment life & reliability MTBR (meantime between repairs).
- High strength fiber – reduces sleeve wear & maintenance costs.
- Universal packing applications – saves inventory costs.
- Easy to cut, install and remove.
