Aramid Packing

Abrasion-resistant slurry braid

Tough aramid-fibre gland packing engineered to resist extrusion and abrasion in slurry, sand-laden and high-pressure pump service.

Outstanding abrasion resistance for slurry duty
High tensile strength resists extrusion under pressure
PTFE / graphite impregnation controls friction
Ideal as tough anti-extrusion end rings
Extends gland life in solids-laden service

Temperature: -100°C to +280°C
Pressure: Up to 200 bar (reciprocating) · 25 bar (rotary)
pH range: 2 – 13

In ServiceUSE

Where it holds the line

When the medium carries solids, aramid packing earns its place. Its exceptional tensile strength and abrasion resistance let it withstand slurry, sand and high-pressure service that would tear softer braids apart, while a PTFE or graphite lubricant impregnation keeps shaft friction and wear under control. Often used as tough anti-extrusion end rings around a softer core, aramid packing dramatically extends gland life on the hardest-wearing pumps in mining, dredging and effluent service.

Typical applications

01Slurry and tailings pumps
02Sand, gravel and dredge pumps
03Effluent and wastewater pumps
04Mixers handling abrasive media
05High-pressure reciprocating plungers
