7/8" FDA PTFE YARN PACKING

This compression packing is supplied in Lubricated PTFE Filament with a 7/8 inch square cross section, catalogued under part number 11700875-05. It seals the shaft while allowing controlled leakage that lubricates and cools the packing set. The catalog record notes: 5 LB. Box - Approx. 9 FT.

Lubricated PTFE Filament is specified for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and near-universal chemical inertness. The compound resists strong acids and bases, solvents, and oxidizing media. Exposure to elemental fluorine at temperature or service requiring elastic recovery will shorten service life.

This compression packing meets FDA requirements for food contact. It sees regular use in semiconductor fabrication, food and beverage, and laboratory equipment.

Stocked as 11700875-05 and sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5 lb. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
