Premium Braided Mechanical Packing
Style 426
Made in the USA
SWEET SPOT & BEST USES:
FDA/USDA compliant. Slit film compliant yarn. The ONLY heat conductive packing that is food safe. Soft and conformable for use in irregular stuffing boxes.
PTFE yarn containing ultra-pure heat conductive minerals within yarn.
Construction
Made entirely from FDA and USDA compliant materials per title CFR 21 178.3570 and 177.1550. Style 426 is an interbraided product of silky PTFE yarns combined with ultra-pure heat conductive minerals entrained within the yarn matrix.
Characteristics
- The heat conductivity of Style 426 allows it to survive surface velocities which glaze other standard PTFE products.
Applications
Style 426 packing is suitable for pump, valve, agitator, tank cover and similar applications whether static or dynamic.
Suitable for incidental food contact applications.
