Flax packing is the traditional choice for sealing rotating and reciprocating shafts in marine applications. This packing material is particularly effective for controlling leakage in stuffing boxes on boats and ships, where a small amount of controlled seepage helps lubricate and cool the seal. The natural fiber construction allows the packing to conform to irregular surfaces and maintain a reliable seal even under dynamic conditions.
