PTFE packing can be used in high-pressure applications when properly reinforced, but its performance depends on factors like filler materials, braid structure, and operating conditions. While pure PTFE may deform under extreme pressure, filled PTFE variants offer improved strength and sealing reliability for demanding high-pressure environments.
A comparison of graphite and PTFE packings, examining their properties, performance, and ideal applications to help determine which sealing solution is better for your needs.
Graphite PTFE packing offers enhanced thermal conductivity and reduced friction compared to pure PTFE packing, making it better suited for high-speed or high-temperature rotary applications. Pure PTFE packing provides superior chemical resistance and is ideal for aggressive media, while the graphite-filled variant typically exhibits better heat dissipation and longer service life in dynamic sealing environments.
