Style 8922

Style 8922 is a more versatile packing than pure “Teflon” or PTFE packing. It is a true general service suitable for a larger variety of applications when the media chemical austerity does not absolutely require use of pure Teflon. Although it has the greatest chemical resistance and might seem an ”easy choice”, pure PTFE packing should only be selected when no other options are suitable. Selecting a pure PTFE packing when the chemical harshness does not require it, might lead to system failing prematurely. Style 8922 will not creep and create thermal expansion leading to failure as pure Teflon can. Made with SYNTHEPAK® fiber material completely impregnated with PTFE through a proprietary Garlock coating process, internal voids are filled, eliminating exposed fiber and moisture entrapment left by other packing treatments. Snow-white petrolatum is also applied on the packing to ease start-up.
