Packing.
Gland packing for pumps, valves and rotating equipment. Graphite, PTFE, aramid and carbon fibre grades. Pre-cut rings or rope stock.
The right grade, cut to the right size.
Gland packing seals the stuffing box of pumps, valves, agitators and rotating equipment — preventing fluid loss along the shaft or stem. The correct grade is determined by fluid type, temperature, pressure and whether the shaft rotates or reciprocates.
Santoo stocks PTFE packing for clean fluids and food-grade applications, graphite and graphite-carbon packing for high-temperature and steam service, aramid and carbon fibre for abrasive or high-pressure applications, and flexible graphite sheet for custom compression packing needs.
Packing grades.
| PTFE packing | Clean water, food-grade, pharmaceutical and general chemical service — white, food-safe |
| Graphite packing | High-temperature and steam service — suitable for valve stems and pump glands to +500 °C |
| Graphite / carbon fibre | High-pressure and high-temperature — for demanding pump and valve applications |
| Aramid (Kevlar) packing | Abrasive fluid service — the hard fibres resist wear in slurry and abrasive media |
| Carbon fibre packing | Oxidising fluid service where graphite is unsuitable |
| Pre-cut rings | Cut to cross-section and ID from rope stock — ready for direct installation |
Where gland packing is specified.
Pump stuffing boxes, valve stems, agitator seals, and rotating equipment glands across water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas facilities, chemical processing, power generation and marine applications throughout the GCC.
Common questions.
What types of gland packing are available?
Graphite, PTFE, aramid (Kevlar), carbon fibre and braid-over-braid constructions for pumps, valves and rotating equipment.
How is the correct grade selected?
Grade selection depends on fluid, temperature, pressure and shaft/stem speed. PTFE for clean water and food applications. Graphite for steam and high-temperature service. Aramid/carbon fibre for abrasive or high-pressure.
Can packing rings be pre-cut to size?
Yes. Cut from rope stock to the required cross-section and inside diameter, ready for direct installation.
