Palmetto, Inc. Datasheets for Compression Packing Seals
Compression packing seals or gland seals are deformable materials used to prevent or control the leakage of fluid between surfaces that move in relation to each other.

| Product Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| A gasketing material of expanded and oriented virgin PTFE fluorocarbon, nontoxic PALSEAL is very white, tough and strong, yet soft with a “marshmallowy” feel that makes it ideal for the... | |
| Aramid packing with PTFE. If the application can use a black packing, consider PE1000 or PE1082. | |
| Carbon packing 1580 with graphite coating. Good for high speed boiler feed and condensate pumps. 1585 is often used with alternating rings of 4010AF. | |
| Carbon packing 1580 with PTFE coating. High temperature packing with good sealiability. An industry standard in paper mills. | |
| Carbon with inconel wire for valves and static applications. | |
| Composite (4) yarns with graphite. Our most recommended general service packing. Can also be used in valves. If concerned about shaft scoring, try 1382 or 1389. | |
| Composite (4) yarns with PTFE. Very good (non-black/graphite) general service packing with great sealability. 1392H has no added lubrication. Good for static applications. | |
| Durable slurry packing with graphite & PTFE. Seals and dissipates heat better than traditional yellow aramid. Often used in plunger pumps with alternating rings of 4010AF. | |
| Durable white slurry packing. Less abrasive and wider pH range than yellow aramid. | |
| ePTFE/Graphite 100% GFO™. Good heat dissipation, sealability, wide pH range. Excellent all-around general service and light slurry packing. | |
| ePTFE/Graphite with yellow aramid corners to add strength and prevent packing extrusion. | |
| ePTFE/Graphite. Good heat dissipation, sealability, wide pH range. Very good all-around general service packing. | |
| Flax tallow with wax lube. Often used in the marine industry for stern tubes and rudder packing. | |
| Flax with PTFE coating. Inexpensive natural fiber packing. | |
| Flexible graphite with carbon corners. Excellent universal packing in power plants for pumps and valves. | |
| Flexible graphite with inconel wire. Use in valves or static applications. | |
| Flexible graphite with much more inconel wire than 5000W. High pressure steam valve packing. | |
| Flexible graphite with PTFE & lube. | |
| Flexible graphite. Very good all-around high temperature packing for pumps and valves. (contains no wire) | |
| Graphite filament packing with graphite coating. Same as 1550, but with graphite coating. | |
| Lower cost alternative to 1585. Style 1575 is 1570 with a graphite coating. Excellent for high speed/temp applications. | |
| Lower cost alternative to 1588. 1570 with a PTFE coating. Excellent for high speed/temp applications. | |
| Palfoil™ is a flexible, self-forming, high-density, high-purity graphite packing material. Designed for applications where high temperature and/or fluid attack are of prime concern, Palfoil is recommended as a static or... | |
| Palpak™, style 1900 is a pure PTFE valve stem packing. Designed to provide a high degree of pliability, Palpak is ideal for packing worn valve stems, reducing the need for... | |
| Synthetic yarn with graphite & lube. Inexpensive graphited acrylic packing. Consider upgrading to 1030AF. | |
| Synthetic yarn with PTFE & lube. Inexpensive white acrylic packing for general service. Also used for knife gate & wicket gate valves. | |
| TFE with aramid corners. Similar to 1363, but yellow aramid only on the corners, which prevents packing extrusion. | |
| TFE with lube. Wide pH range for excellent chemical compatibility. | |
| TFE with mineral oil lube. Same as 1367H, but adds a mineral oil lubricant. | |
| TFE with no lube, generally for static applications like valves. Same as 1367S, but without any added lubrication. Wide pH range for excellent chemical compatibility. |
