Product Description
Garlock 98 is a premium carbon packing option covering the widest range of application and operating conditions thus simplifying selection and reducing inventory requirements. Garlock 98 is well suited for challenging process conditions. Garlock 98 is manufactured from high purity staple fiber, resulting in an extremely conformable carbon packing, making it easy to install and adjust quickly to minimize downtime and shorten break-in period. Yarns are individually coated with high temperature, non-petroleum-based graphite blocking agent and lubricant, ensuring uniformity of coverage. They are then dried prior to braiding to thoroughly remove unwanted moisture. Its high thermal conductivity and ideal lubrification helps the process run cooler and packing last longer.
Certification(s): ADI/TSE Free, API 589 Compliant, REACH Compliant, RoHS Compliant
