GLASS FIBRE PACKINGS
Type VG8L / VG8D
Product Information
Vulcan VG8L is interbraided from continuous filament, textured, air-blown glass yarns. The glass fibres are heavily lubricated and thoroughly impregnated with PTFE dispersion and an inert lubrication, both prior to and subsequent to braiding.
Applications
Type VG8L is a smooth, cool running packing for a wide variety of uses in a plant. Particularly useful on water and mildly abrasive slurries, solvents and chemicals in reciprocating and centrifugal pumps, mixers and valves.
Vulcan alternative Type VG8D is the self-same packing but the inert lubricants are replaced by an increased PTFE dispersion. VG8D is designed as a valve packing that is also suitable for a variety of static or slow moving applications up to 4 m/s.
