Description

6mm Graphite Gland Packing – Type 400G

This premium compression packing is braided from expanded graphite yarns, making it ideal for high-temperature applications where thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of friction are critical.

Type 400G is widely used for reducing shaft wear and offers excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, while its flexible and elastic construction means minimal pressure is required to achieve a reliable seal.
