Pilotpack 3408 has a high-performance packing manufactured from a yarn consisting of pure fine PTFE fibres containing no impregnation or additives.
The yarn also has a very low coefficient of friction that allows relative movement between the fibres. When this yarn is braided using the ‘Crossplait’ technique of manufacture, this gives the packing a ‘self-lubricating’ property that increases service life.
PILOTPACK 3408 packing has been specially developed for use on oxygen applications (which require a very pure product with no lubricants as these can react with oxygen) It can also give long life on solvents and chemicals used in the chemical, refining, food and beverage industries on valves, pumps and static applications such as tank lids.
The material included in our packing is suitable for contact with wholesome water for domestic purposes having met the requirements of BS6920-1:2000 and/or 2014.
All square sections from 3mm (1/8”) to 25mm (1”) are generally available from stock and supplied in differing lengths depending on the cross-section. Larger and rectangular sections can be manufactured to order. Packing can also be supplied in preformed or die formed rings.
