CARBON FIBER GLAND PACKING
Carbon Fiber Gland Packing is a high-performance compression sealing material manufactured from continuous carbon fibers braided into square or interlock constructions and often impregnated with graphite, PTFE, lubricants, or special blocking agents to improve sealing performance.
Carbon fiber packing is engineered for applications involving high temperature, elevated pressure, aggressive chemicals, and demanding mechanical conditions. Compared with conventional packing materials, it offers superior thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, wear resistance, and long service life.
Due to its excellent sealing reliability, Carbon Fiber Gland Packing is widely used in industrial pumps, valves, agitators, steam systems, power plants, petrochemical facilities, and process industries.
