Carbon Graphite Fibre–Type: CH KU3/KU3A

Carsten Holms CH KU3 is square-braided from high quality carbon yarns impregnated with pure Graphite, special high temperature lubricants and Molybdenum Disulphide. The Carbon yarns are dense braided to provide a near frictionless, self-lubricating seal.
Graphite powder provide non-migrating lubrication between the packing and the shaft. The non-glazing, high temperature lubricant protects during the packing break-in period. The addition of Molybdenum Disulphide gives high temperature and high pressure lubrication with shaft wear protection even when contact pressures between packing and shaft are excessive.
CH KU3 Carbon Fibre packing is swift to break-in because of its low friction, lubricants intensive constituents and these characteristics allow its extended life in arduous duties. CH KU3 can be used in services where many other lubricated fibre packings fail, due to migration or loss of lubrication and consequent fibre burning, hardening or glazing.
CH KU3A is Inconel Wire re-inforced for high pressure static application to 350 Bar to give an exceptional capability, performance and lasting value packing for use up to 1 m/s.
