TEADIT Style 2004 is a compression packing made from aramid yarn, impregnated with PTFE and a silicone-based lubricant, specifically designed for abrasive and granular applications.
Product Characteristics & Specifications
- Material: This interlock-braided packing is manufactured from continuous aramid yarn, treated with a PTFE suspension.
- Lubrication: Impregnated with a high-temperature silicone-based lubricant to ensure fast run-in and extended service life.
- Durability: Known for its exceptional toughness and long service life, combining the superior mechanical strength of aramid with excellent abrasion resistance.
- Friction: PTFE impregnation and lubrication result in a low coefficient of friction, allowing shaft speeds of up to 15 m/s.
- Chemical Resistance: Offers a good pH range, generally recommended from pH 2 to 12, although some sources specify a range of pH 4 to 10.
- Shaft Hardness: Due to the toughness of aramid fibers, a minimum shaft or sleeve hardness of ≥ 60 HRC is recommended.
Typical Applications
TEADIT Style 2004 is ideal for applications involving highly aggressive or abrasive media, especially in the following industries:
- Pumps: Used in slurry pumps, reciprocating pumps, and hydraulic pumps.
- Industrial Equipment: Commonly applied in agitators, mixers, and reactors.
- Industries: Suitable for use in the paper, steel, oil & gas, and various chemical industries.
- Media: Compatible with water, steam, oils, brine, mild acids, and many solvents.
- Wastewater Treatment: Highly effective in wastewater and sewage treatment installations.
