Kevlar® Aramid Gland Packing (VC1)
Kevlar® Aramid Gland Packing (VC1)
- VC1 is a Superior performance Pump packing, made of a unique Aramidic composite fibre.
- This special fibre combines an exceptionally high tensile strength 380,000psi (27,000 kg/cm2), outstanding heat resistance, linked to low friction and excellent cool running properties.
- Lacking the stiffness of conventional synthetics and, thus, readily conforms to stuffing box surfaces, is easy to install and requires minimal gland torque and fewer adjustments.
- This is a strong thermoset fibre packing but it is also extremely soft, assisted by our exclusive, three stage lubrication process.
- The low-friction factor reduces abrasion by up to 1/10th compared to Aramidic fibres, giving high reliability and life, even in the most demanding of applications.
- VC1 is heat resistant and will not glaze, even at high shaft speeds.
