Gland packing VK4T

Gland packing VK4T, KEVLAR and PTFE fibre packing, is square inter-braided to maximise the benefits of these two remarkable fibres. KEVLAR fibres are specially braided from the core to the corner-posts for dimensional stability and to take maximum advantage, within the packing construction, of the yarns steel-like strength. The TEFLON yarns are braided to the packing surfaces to enhance sealing capability.

Applications
Gland packing VK4T  combines low-friction, complete pH range chemical resistance with high mechanical and dimensional strength. A wide ranging packing, for specification especially in high pressure conditions in chemical or abrasive applications, where alternative single fibre packings may extrude or cause significant shaft wear.

The construction and materials of  Gland packing VK4T makes this packing ideal for piston sealing on reciprocating, chemical, slurry and high pressure pumps.
