Synthetic gland packing

Synthetic gland packing is an advanced sealing material made from synthetic fibers and other high-performance constituents suitable for dynamic sealing applications. It serves excellent applications that generate reasonable sealing in the rotating, reciprocating, and static applications where high temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure is present in the industrial application

Synthetic Gland Packing

Key Features of Synthetic Gland Packing

  • High Temperature Resistance: The synthetic gland packing withstands temperatures up to 300°C depending on its material composition.
  • Chemical Resistance: Provides excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents.
  • Low Friction: Helps in reducing wear and tear of moving parts and extends the life of equipment.
  • Flexibility and Durability: The synthetic fibers used provide flexibility for installation and durability for long-lasting performance.
  • Cost-Effective: Provides a cost-effective sealing solution for different applications without sacrificing performance.

Synthetic Gland Packing Applications

  • Pumps: Prevents leakage and ensures efficient operation in fluid handling pumps.
  • Valves: It ensures proper sealing in valves subjected to high pressure and temperature.
  • Compressors: Seals the moving parts of compressors to avoid loss of pressure and increases efficiency.
  • Heat Exchangers: Prevents leakage and maintains thermal stability in heat exchange systems.
  • Industrial Equipment: It is used for sealing various types of rotating and reciprocating machinery in petrochemical, power, and automotive industries.

Benefits of Synthetic Gland Packing

  • Better Performance: Offers excellent sealing performance even at high temperatures and pressures.
  • Low friction and wear ensure less frequent maintenance and longer service life of equipment.
  • Works well in both high-speed and high-pressure applications.
  • Non-toxic and free from asbestos, making it safe for a variety of industries.
  • Available in different sizes and shapes to meet specific sealing requirements.
