Applications
This packing is a well lubricated, medium-hard packing with extremely low frictional characteristics, which assure minimal shaft wear. The ramie yarn is rot and mildew resistant, making the packing ideal for marine use, handling cold water, salt water, and cold oils. In the marine industry, it is commonly used in stern tubes, rubber posts, and tail shaft liners. This style is also used in the pulp and paper, waste/wastewater, steel and mining industries.
