GFO® Packing – Type: CH AR4

Carsten Holms CH AR4 is a braided packing manufactured from expanded PTFE yarn containing graphite and silicone oil as lubricant. 100% GORE® GFO® Fibre. GORE® GFO® packing doesn’t get hard or brittle, thereby minimising shaft wear. Its excellent lubricity and high thermal conductivity keep it cool-running even after extended periods of continuous operation at shaft speeds to 21.8 m/s (4,300 fpm). Easy to install and extract. 

Resistant to all media (pH 0-14), except for molten or dissolved alkali metals and elemental fluorine particularly at high temperatures and pressures. Widest range of applications. Long lasting. Does not harden. Minimum shaft damage. Manufacturer’s reputation for highest quality fluid sealing products.
