Compression Packing

GORE™ GFO® Packing

For over 20 years, packings made from 100% GFO® fibre have been providing trouble-free performance. GORE™ GFO® Packing works in a wide range of services and it can deliver an unmatched level of assurance and confidence. With a significantly improved heat conductivity compared to other fibres 100% GFO® fibre packings allow very low leakage rates at high lifetimes.

W. L. Gore has introduced the global GFO® certification programme. This means that the content of the GORE™ GFO® Packing is guaranteed.

Look out for the GFO® Seal of Assurance and the print "100% GFO®" on the packing itself. Braiders cannot change the content of the packing, i.e. they cannot use different fibres without the packing looking different. This means you can always be assured you have bought a high-quality product and so have contributed to the minimisation of downtime or leakage.
