PRODUCT
REFERENCE: FLEXITALLIC 305
DESCRIPTION: Flexitallic 305 is a high quality packing manufactured from high purity (93.5%)
exfoliated graphite.
SERVICE: Flexitallic 305 is a soft naturally lubricious braided packing for sealing valves
and pumps. The soft compressible nature of exfoliated graphite gives rise to
good sealing performance at relatively low loads. Flexitallic 305 has excellent
chemical resistance and is suitable for use in applications involving a wide range
of chemical media ( with the exception of strong oxidisers ). The material is
particularly suitable for sealing high pressure, high temperature valves in the
power and petrochemical industries.
