Style 2043 is a durable packing able to withstand granular and abrasive applications. It is recommended for service in superheated steam, slurries, petroleum derivatives, solvents, chemicals, liquified gases, pulp and paper stocks, sugar syrups, and other abrasive fluids.
CONSTRUCTION Style 2043 is an interlock braid, using Spun aramid carded yarns, impregnated with graphite. The packing is also lubricated with a special compound for quick and easy break-in. The use of spun aramid fibers produces a softer and very tough packing, but one that is less abrasive than packings braided with aramid filaments.
