Flax packing is a time-tested sealing material that swells when wet to create a watertight seal around rotating shafts. This packing is particularly well-suited for marine applications where controlled weeping is acceptable and preferred over complete seal dryness. The natural fiber construction allows for easy installation and adjustment, making it an essential maintenance item for boat owners and marine mechanics.
