GORE™ Valve Stem Packing


Technical Information

PACKING FOR VALVE STEMS AND STUFFING BOXES

Pliable and Conformable

Made in a unique new process, with 100% expanded PTFE, GORE™ Valve Stem Packing offers a high degree of pliability. This allows the packing to conform to worn valve stems and stuffing boxes, eliminating the need for expensive repairs to older valves.

Longer Service Life

GORE™ Valve Stem Packing has consistently outperformed other packings. Seals made with GORE™ Valve Stem Packing last longer because the unique fibril structure of the material provides better strength, moldability and conformability. GORE™ Valve Stem Packing flows into imperfections in both the stem and stuffing box. The softness and self-lubricating nature of GORE™ Valve Stem Packing practically eliminates stem wear.

Versatility and Performance

GORE™ Valve Stem Packing will not deteriorate with age, has a low coefficient of friction and withstands temperatures from -240°C to +270°C, for short periods to +315°C. In addition, GORE™ Valve Stem Packing is unaffected by all common chemicals and will not contaminate product flow. It is ideal for use in the food and beverage, chemical processing, pharmaceutical and petroleum refining industries.
