Palmetto #1030AF
Graphited Predominately Kynol*
GENERAL SERVICE
PACKING
Palmetto 1030AF is the direct replacement for graphited asbestos. Style 1030AF is braided from Palmetto's exclusive Quadrasyn™ Predominately Kynol* composite fiber and heavily impregnated with our time-proven Impregloid™ solid lubricant system. Unlike conventional packings, 1030AF does not employ a liquid lubricant; thus packing shrinkage and the resulting need for constant gland adjustment is substantially reduced. 1030AF will provide longer service life and virtually no sleeve wear too! 600ºF (290ºC) 3-11 pH.

Palmetto #1392
TFE/Predominately Kynol*
GENERAL SERVICE
PACKING
2970 is the direct replacement for asbestos sheet gasketing. Manufactured of predominantly Aramid Filament with premium NBR binders assures long shell life vs. asbestos sheet. Style 2970 is soft and compressible and is highly recommended for such applications as pipe flanges, mixers, ovens, kettle, manifolds, digesters, tanks, columns and pumps. Temp. 750ºF (399ºC). Leachable Chloride content is less than 100 ppm which helps prevent flange pilling.
Palmetto #1350
Aramid Filament
SLURRY PACKING
Interwoven™ braid of Aramid, the strongest synthetic fiber, and impregnated with TFE dispersion. Designed for abrasive applications where other packings don't measure up. Temp. 500ºF (260ºC) 3-11pH. Style 1350's inherent 'brute strength' characteristics enable it to withstand 'shearing and learing' action of abrasive applications.
Palmetto #1367
TFE
Filament
PHARMACEUTICAL
FOOD PROCESS
PACKING
Palmetto 1367S and H are recommended for kettle, mixer, agitator and specifically non-contamination applications. Virgin TFE assures D-14 pH. and 500ºF (260ºC). Palmetto 1367F (FDA hard) and 1367FS (FDA soft) comply with FDA requirements. (FDA Title 21, Paragraph 177.1550).
Palmetto #1389
Graphite/TFE
Composite
UNIVERSAL
CHEMICAL
PACKING
Super Tephite resists chemicals with a 0-14 pH. range. #1389 dissipates frictional heat with a 3300FPM (shaft speed) rating. Tephite is rated at minimum of 3 to 5 times the life of both TFE and Asbestos packings. Style #1389 'smart fiber' construction assures universal packing standardization for under 550ºF (260ºC).
Palmetto #1585
CARBON FIBER
HIGH
TEMPERATURE
PACKING
Interwoven™ braid of carbon fiber, Palcar™ is impregnated with graphite particles, which makes it ideal for boiler feed pumps, blowers, and driers. Temp. 1200ºF (650ºC) in steam, 650ºF (345ºC) in oxygen and 2400ºF (1320ºC) in reducing atmosphere. pH 1-14. Style 1585 exhibits extremely low coefficient of friction characteristics enabling dynamic equipment ease of operation and long trouble-free service life.
Palmetto #3000
TFE/Cord Gasketing
CUT GASKET
ALTERNATIVE
Palmetto #3000 is the non-asbestos gasketing alternative. No more cutting gaskets - simply peel-off adhesive strip and apply to sealing area overlapping ends. Seals to 5000 PSI, 0-14 pH., FDA Title 21, (paragraphs 177.1550 and 175.105). Temp. -450ºF to 600ºF (-270ºC to 315ºC).
Palmetto #1555
SEVERE SERVICE
PACKING
Manufactured of graphite yarn and impregnated with graphite particles, this 'universal' packing can be applied almost anywhere. #1555 will operate at high speeds and temperatures, and is less likely to succumb to fluid attack than virtually any other type of packing. Temperature ranges (up to 6000ºF in the absence of oxygen, 1200ºF in steam, and 800ºF in the presence of oxygen) are unsurpassed by other packing. #1555 provides extra service life with less down-time, which means money saved. Fluid loss is reduced due to 1555's ability to operate with very low leak-off, and energy is conserved because of graphite's low frictional drag.

CHEKSEAL

Rotary Bearing
SEAL/EXCLUSION
DEVICE
The Palmetto CHEKSEAL™ is a self-adjusting shaft-mounted axial lip seal designed as an exclusion device, deflecting and excluding contaminants such as dust, dirt, mud and water. The CHEKSEAL also functions as a 'retainer' seal, preventing the loss of viscous lubricants, such as heavy greases. Unlike conventional spring-loaded oil seals, the CHEKSEAL cannot fret or groove expensive shafts and accepts radial shaft motion due to bearing play. The CHEKSEAL is also designed to automatically vent excess grease during re-greasing operations.
Palmetto #PE1000
Graphite/Aramid
Monofilament
WEAR RESISTANT
HEAT CONDUCTIVE
PACKING
When strength and wear resistance is required PE1000 will provide extended service life with virtually no sleeve scoring. Palmetto Engineers have been exploring the need for fiber heat dissipation, extrusion resistance, and suppleness. Recently developed materials have wither been so very strong that shaft scoring quickly reduced their popularity or they were kind to the shaft yet too weak to resist extrusion due to high pressures or wide clearances. PE1000 is truly a break-through in fiber technology. With heat dissipation of graphite, strength of aramid
and suppleness of weaker composites, PE1000 is a development which will help slurry handlers produce better bottom lines through energy savings, lower sleeve wear, and longer packing life.
Palmetto #1347AF
TFE/Synthetic
LOW COST
GENERAL SERVICE
PACKING
Palmetto Syn-Tex™ is a cost effective combination of absorbent synthetic-textile staple yarn. The 'thirsty' nature of this proprietary yarn permits a 50% pick-up of virgin PTFE suspensold. The fibers are protected from chemical attach, running friction is reduced, and sealability is enhanced. Low gland follower squeeze extends packing and sleeve life, and decreases motor energy draw. The entire packing is saturated in our proprietary break-in lubricant which aids in initial start-up preventing overheating and glazing.
Palmetto #1007AF
Graphite/Synthetic
LOW COST
GENERAL
SERVICE
PACKING
Palmetto 1007AF is a graphite throughout interwoven braid Syn-Tex yarn. Each strand of our exclusive synthetic textile yarn is heavily impregnated with graphite and a proprietary viscous grease prior to braiding. Heat dissipation is enhanced since the graphite particles are able to conduct heat through the body of the packing. This is a far superior method versus surface coatings. The special lubricant (viscous grease) is engineered to leach out of the packing upon an increase in frictional heat. This lubricant release will lower friction heat which automatically reduces the release of internal lubricant. The self-adjusting flow of internal lubricant increases packing and sleeve life.
Palmetto #4062AF
Carbon/wire
STEAM VALVE
PACKING
4062AF is manufactured from the highest grade carbon yarn with an Inconel Wire carrier. This proven material is braided over a core of graphite and exclusive corrosion inhibitors which prevent stem pitting. 4062AF non-hardening valve stem packing, will also provide many years of service in expansion joints. Temp.: To 1200ºF (649ºC). Pressures: To 1200 psi and beyond.

PAC-KING™

Leak-free
PACKING
DOUGH
Pac-King is a milled fibrous, homogeneous 'dough'. It combines chemically inert, low friction virgin PTFE with pure graphite encapsulation and lubricant. This perfect triple combination enables zero leakage sealing of nearly any fluid and withstands temperatures of -450º to 550ºF. In most cases it is recommended to use Palmetto PE1000 end rings to prevent extrusion at higher pressures. Available in 5 and 20 lb. cans.

PAC-KING™

Injection System
Use the PAC-KING™ injection system to install Palmetto PAC-KING Stuffing Box Sealant even in equipment operating under pressure. Just insert the PAC-KING sealant stick into the PAC-KING I.G. ("Injection Gun") and inject the sealant into the stuffing box. The PAC-KING™ Injection System fixes leaks before they leak, reducing maintenance hours and increasing pump service life.
