Braided from specially formulated expanded graphite, reinforced with a proprietary inconel wire matrix and impregnated with a passive, inorganic corrosion inhibitor
Characteristics
• Non-hardening, excellent re-adjustment capability, coefficient of thermal expansion similar to steel
• Extrusion stability through ultrafine inconel metal mesh reinforcement on each braided strand
• Universal plant wide use in all block and manual valves
• Passive corrosion inhibitor to protect valve stems
• High temperature and high pressure capabilities
• Easy to install and easy to remove from stuffing boxes
• Low coefficient of friction, valves open/close more easily
• No torque required, rings should simply be compressed 20-25% of their original height during Installation
