PTFE Black Gland Packing Rope
PTFE Black Gland Packing Rope
Typically braided into a round rope shape, available in various diameters.
Made from expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers, similar to white PTFE packing rope but often with added carbon or graphite for the black color. PTFE is known for its exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and low friction properties.
| Rope Shape | Round |
| Rope Type | Gland Packing |
| Diameter | 6mm to 50mm |
| Brand | Elephant |
| Temperature Resistance | Up to 260°C (500°F) continuously, and short bursts up to 300°C (572°F) |
1) Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for use in aggressive environments.
2) Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding high temperatures without losing its mechanical properties or degrading.
3) Non-Stick: The non-stick properties of PTFE prevent material buildup and facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.
4) Low Friction: Provides low friction properties, which can help in reducing wear and extending the life of the equipment.
5) Anti-Static Properties: The black color, achieved with carbon or graphite, may impart anti-static properties, reducing the risk of static discharge.
1) Sealing: Used as a sealing material in pumps, valves, and flanges where chemical resistance and high-temperature performance are essential.
2) Packing: Serves as packing material for pistons, rods, and other moving parts in machinery to prevent leaks and ensure optimal performance.
3) Gaskets: Utilized as a gasket material in various applications requiring a reliable seal, such as in chemical processing and high-temperature environments.
4) Anti-Static: The addition of carbon or graphite may provide anti-static properties, making it suitable for applications where static build-up is a concern.
