GORE™ Valve Stem Packing


PACKING FOR VALVE STEMS AND STUFFING BOXES

All-purpose and self-forming

GORE™ Valve Stem Packing is manufactured using Gore's unique, proprietary expanded PTFE. In this process the material takes on a fibrous structure which minimises the cold flow experienced with full density PTFE. Because of the low friction co-efficient, wear on the valve stem is reduced and the valve runs smoothly. Due to the conformability of the packing, a good seal is achieved even with worn valve stems.
