Specification of Gland Packing TEADIT Style 2070
Description
TEADIT style 2070 is diagonally braided from a proprietory yarn
which consists of a core of Aramid fibers totally encased by
gPTFE (PTFE with incorporated graphite), lubricated with silicone
oil.
Properties
The unique, patented TEADIT EGK® yarn gives this packing
exceptional properties. Every single yarn owns the most desirable
charactaristics: high mechanical strength from the Aramid core
and the superior chemical resistance, self lubrication, low
coefficient of friction and excellent heat dissipation from the
external PTFE/graphite jacket. Chloride content < 20 ppm
Application areas
Style 2070 is an ideal packing for applications requiring highest
chemical resistance and mechanical strength. It is recommended
for rotating and reciprocating pumps, valves, mixers, agitators,
etc., in the chemical, pharmaceutical and many other industries.
TEADIT style 2070 is particularly suited for the demanding
applications in refiners, digestors and similar equipment in the
pulp and paper industry.
Application media
The superior extrusion resistance of style 2070 - four times higher
than conventional gPTFE packings - makes it ideal for
applications with chemically aggressive fluids at high shaft
speeds and pressures. It can also be used in connection with
water, sewage, steam, inert and aggressive gases, solvents,
mineral oils and greases, abrasive media and many more.
Not suitable for
Molten alkali metals and fluorine compounds at high
temperatures and pressures, oxygen.
Benefits
Because this exclusive packing - manufactured only by TEADIT -
can be used in most applications by most industries, it can lower
stock volumes considerably. No other packing combines so
many advantages:
the strength of Aramid - without its abrasiveness and limited
chemical resistance- and the suppleness, chemical resistance,
low coefficient of friction and heat dissipation of PTFE/graphite -
but without its extrusion problems.
