Graphite Impregnated Lubricated Carbon Gland Packing (VC5)
Graphite Impregnated Lubricated Carbon Gland Packing (VC5)
- The VC5 is square-braided from high quality Carbon yarns impregnated with pure Graphite, special high temperature lubricants and Molybdenum Disulfide.
- The Carbon yarns are dense braided to provide a near frictionless, self-lubricating seal. Graphite powder provides non-migrating lubrication between the packing and the shaft.
- The non-glazing, high temperature lubricant protects during the packing break-in period.
- The addition of Molybdenum Disulfide gives high temperature and high pressure lubrication with shaft wear protection even when contact pressures between packing and shaft are excessive.
- The VC5 Carbon fibre packing is swift to break-in because of its low friction lubricant intensive constituents and these characteristics allow for its extended life in arduous duties.
- Type VC5 can be used in services where many other lubricated fibre packing types fail, due to migration or loss of lubrication and consequent fibre burning, hardening or glazing.
