It can be used in valves, pumps, expansion joints, mixers and agitators in high-pressure, high-temperature hostile environments of hydrocaron prpcessing, pulp and paper, power station, refineries and industries where effective sealing is vital.
It has a very low friction, does mot damage shafts or stems. It shows good thermal and chemical resistance and high strength, lower reinforcement materials are also available:Glass fiber--high strength, lower cost carbon fiber--less weight loss 200k----gaphite packing with corrosion inhibitor corrosion inhibitor acts as a sacrificial anode to protect the valves stem and the stuffing box.
