This 3/16-inch diameter packing is braided from high-quality flax rovings that are thoroughly impregnated with PTFE lubricant, delivering superior performance compared to conventional flax packing materials.

Key Features:

• PTFE (Teflon) impregnated for low surface friction and extended service life
• Rated for temperatures up to 482°F with rotation speeds up to 2,400 feet per minute
• Resistant to frictional heat generated by rotating shafts
• Braided from quality flax rovings to precise tolerances
• Off-white color for easy identification
• Packaged in convenient 2-foot (22-inch) length

This advanced packing material combines the traditional reliability of flax with the superior lubrication properties of PTFE, making it ideal for preventing leaks in stuffing boxes while minimizing wear on propeller shafts. The PTFE lubricants are highly resistant to heat degradation, ensuring longer-lasting performance between service intervals.
