Pilotpack 3400

Product Type: Pilot® Gland & Valve Compression Packings

Product Features

  • Manufactured from FDA-compliant materials
  • Especially suitable for use in applications where a non-contaminating packing is required
  • Excellent heat transfer & heat dissipation properties ensure a cool running packing giving a longer seal life
  • Suitable for pump, valve, reciprocating and static applications especially in pharmaceutical, food/beverage industries but also in fine chemicals & fine paper applications
  • Manufactured from a superior pure ePTFE yarn that gives increased life over other PTFE yarns

 

Description

Specially developed high-performance packing manufactured from an expanded PTFE yarn (ePTFE) consisting of pure PTFE containing highly refined lubricant & filler both of which are encapsulated in the ePTFE. This gives a yarn that has superior heat transfer properties and ensures the heat generated is rapidly removed. When this yarn is braided using the ‘Crossplait’ technique of manufacture, this gives superior packing that increases service life. PILOTPACK 3400 packing has been specially developed for use in pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries but also in fine chemicals & fine paper applications, or any application where any contamination cannot be tolerated.
