Glass Fibre Packing – Type: CH GF2

Carsten Holms CH GF2 is an alternative packing for light duties. CH GF2 is interbraided from continuous filament, textured air-blown glass fibres thoroughly impregnated with mineral oil lubricants and graphite. A dressing and corrosion inhibitor is further applied to the yarn to improve wear resistance.
CH GF2 will handle non-mechanically demanding plant applications whilst requiring low gland pressure to seal thus reducing shaft wear and gland maintenance.
Specify CH GF2 to general plant service, at elevated temperatures, only if Carbon and Graphite fibres are not required. Glass fibres offer exceptional temperature resistance but are relatively low strength. Up to 250°C, use CH PA1 for superior performance or CH AR2L where higher mechanical load or very abrasive conditions exist. At higher temperatures, CH KU3 or CH KU4 are recommended.
