Applications
The JIC 3079 gland packing is suitable for use in dynamic sealingapplications on equipment such as:
- Rotary pumps
- Reciprocating pumps
- Agitators and mixers
- Valves (for sealing along the stem)
Key Features
- Excellent chemical resistance: Suitable for a wide range of chemical media.
- Good wear resistance: The phenolic fibers offer durability for demanding industrial conditions.
- Lubricated: Includes a lubricant to assist with "run-in" and reduce friction against the shaft.
- Cost-effective: Offers a balance of performance, cost, and ease of maintenance.
