Description

PILOTPACK 8500 has been designed for very high-temperature valve, slow rotating and static applications. Each strand of the high-temperature BCX yarn is impregnated with a high-temperature lubricant and additional mechanical strength provided by high-temperature nickel alloy wire reinforcement.

The resultant packing is dense, firm and uniformly lubricated with a low coefficient of friction.
It is designed for use in rotary, reciprocating, valve and static equipment, across a range of product applications, but specially designed for hot air and gases up to a maximum temperature of 750˚C.
