Flax packing is a time-tested sealing material that absorbs water and swells to create a tight seal around rotating shafts. It's particularly popular in marine applications for stuffing boxes on boats, where it helps prevent water intrusion while allowing the shaft to rotate smoothly. The natural fiber construction is easy to work with and can be compressed into stuffing boxes or used to repair existing packing.
