*3/8" PTFE TREATED CARBON YARN PACKING

Ordered as 11790375-10, this is a Carbon Filament/TFE Compression Packing with a 3/8 inch square cross section. The compression packing offers the most economical repairable shaft seal for pumps and valves. Additional detail on this item: 10 LB. Box - Approx. 93 FT.

It resists oxidizing media, steam, and strong acids and bases. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Carbon Filament/TFE offers excellent dielectric properties and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. It is not the right choice where molten alkali metals or service requiring elastic recovery are present.

You will find this material specified across aggressive-media pipelines, pharmaceutical and biotech, and laboratory equipment.

Reference part number 11790375-10 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 10 lb. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
