The combination of resilient non-asbestos fibers and PTFE offers a true non-contaminating general service packing - ideal where a clean, reliable packing is required. Lattice braided synthetic yarns are coated with a PTFE dispersion and a surface coating of break-in lubricant. Typical applications are rotary, centrifugal, and reciprocating pumps for such services as mild acids and alkalis, air and dry industrial gases, petroleum and synthetic oils, aromatic and aliphatic solvents, and fluids where non-contamination is required.
