3R790

Synthetic fiber

The 3R790 is an interlock braid using carded synthetic yarns thoroughly impregnated with a PTFE suspensoid. The finished packing is again coated with PTFE dispersion and a break-in lubricant is added to reduce shaft wear and eliminate glazing at start up.

Applications

It is an excellent multi-service packing which handles steam, water, solvents, oils, mild acids and alkali and a broad range of other chemicals. It is white in color and will not discolor the flow media. This style is recommended for use in centrifugal, rotary and reciprocating pumps and also mixers, agitators, and expansion joints.
