STYLE 2103t
Braided Packing
Carbon Yarn, PTFE Impregnated
CONSTRUCTION
Style 2103t packing is an interlock braid of carbon fibers which are carefully impregnated with PTFE. The resulting packing is very tough, resists wear, has excellent chemical resistance and prevents contamination.
APPLICATION / SERVICE
Style 2103t packing can handle chemicals over the entire 0-14 pH range except for strong oxidizers. It is very popular in the pulp and paper industry because it is especially designed for applications involving strong caustics, acids, bleaches, slurries, and services where contamination cannot be tolerated. This style is commonly used in valves and pumps, agitators, reactors, and autoclaves.
