APG 11731000 1" Square Braided TFE Non-Asbestos Packing, (10 lb.)

Interbraid construction. Yarns dipped in TFE suspensoid. Fibers are saturated and sealed with TFE particles, protecting the fibers from chemical action. TFE provides a greater degree of chemical inertness, lower coefficient of friction and prevents penetration of chemical fluids. A surface coating of TFE is applied after braiding for extra protection. To assure good break-in characteristics, a light oil is applied. Recommended for general service, rotating and reciprocating pumps and agitators. For caustics, mild acids, difficult chemicals, air, gases, solvents, oils and general plant application. For pH 3-11; PV factor 650,000; temperatures to 500°F/260°C; speeds to 1885 FPM. The proprietary TFE dispersion system provides greater penetration and more thorough dissemination of the inert TFE.
