3R 746
BRAIDED PACKING
FLEXIBLE GRAPHITE

ISO 9001 : 2000 Certified
3R 746 packing is manufactured from high purity flexible graphite that is expanded and formed into a braidable yarn and then braided without binders or wire reinforcement. The finished product retains all the inherent benefits of flexible graphite: heat resistance, chemical inertness, low friction, self lubrication and ready conformability.

Applications //

This versatile packing can be used in many applications. The 3R 746 braided packing flexible graphite may be used in valves, pumps, expansion joints, mixers and agitators in the hostile environments of hydrocarbon processing, pulp and paper, power generation, metal-working and other industries where effective sealing is vital.
