APG’s Style 1463 flax packing is constructed with a square braid, impregnated throughout with an ungraphited, pure PTFE dispersion, which acts as a surface leveler and fills in voids in the packing, a saturant to prevent wicking, a lubricant to reduce friction and heat, and a protective shield around the flax fibers, preventing fluid penetration and fiber break down. These characteristics make it an excellent paper stock packing. Style 1463 is recommended for operating temperatures up to 220°F / 104°C and shaft speeds up to 1885 feet per minute in reciprocating and rotating shafts for paper mill applications such as claflins, hydrofiners, and stock pumps or wherever product discoloration must be prevented, such as in the food and bleached paper industries.
