APG’s Style 1175 pump packing features braided graphite fibers with a minimum of 99% carbon and 1% ash. A surface lubricant is applied to prevent wicking and to provide a bearing film between the shaft and the packing material. This dispersion coating of graphite does not contain any hydrocarbon, PTFE, or any silicone additive and the final packing can be nuclear certified. Style 1175 is recommended for operating temperatures of up to 6000°F / 3316°C and unlimited shaft speeds for use in valves, agitator shafts, reciprocating rods, and plunger rods where minimum leakage is required under severe service conditions where strong acids and caustics are present.
