GLAND PACKING JIC 4101
General Description
JIC 4101 is a gland packing made from pure PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) yarn impregnated with a special inert lubricant. This product is designed for sealing applications in industrial equipment that require maximum chemical resistance and extremely low friction, such as pumps, valves, mixers, and process equipment in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
It is completely asbestos-free and highly suitable for corrosive or aggressive media.
Construction and Material
⢠Base material: 100% pure PTFE (Teflon) yarn.
⢠Impregnation: Inert lubricant to reduce the coefficient of friction and extend service life.
⢠Braiding style: Square braided for high mechanical strength and flexibility.
⢠Color: White
Key Characteristics
⢠Chemical resistance: Excellent against almost all chemicals, acids, alkalis, solvents, and gases.
⢠Low friction: Prevents wear on shafts or sleeves.
⢠Non-contaminating: Suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and potable water applications.
⢠Non-asbestos and non-toxic.
⢠Easy maintenance and long service life.
Operating Range
⢠Temperature: â100°C to +260°C
⢠Max pressure:
âo Pumps: up to 2 MPa
âo Valves: up to 10 MPa
⢠Shaft speed: up to 10 m/s
⢠pH range: 0 â 14
Typical Applications
⢠Pumps, valves, agitators, and chemical reactors.
⢠Chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and water treatment industries.
⢠Suitable for corrosive fluids, gases, organic solvents, and other aggressive chemicals.
Advantages
⢠Superior chemical resistance compared to other types of gland packing.
