PTFE Envelopes
PTFE envelopes provide a protective sheath of PTFE over a insert gasket. This will provide a cheap but efficient chemical resistant seal. PTFE envelopes are most commonly available in two forms, these are milled or welded. |

| Compression Packing |
W.R.Factors carry a large range of asbestos - free compression packings, in a wide range of sizes.
Compression packing (Gland) are produced to suit pump or valve glands or stuffing boxes. They are manufactured by braiding, often pre-treated textile yarns into a square section. The purpose of packing is to form a seal to minimise leakage of the process media.
Compression packings cover a large area of products, with temperatures ranging between -250°C to 650°C.
Listed below are the materials generally used to make up packings. |
