Sealing

Gland packings and rings, gasket sheets and spiral wound gaskets for valves, pumps and flanges.

Gland packing and rings

Flexible graphite packing and rings

Flexible graphite packing and rings

Made from selected high-quality natural flake graphite, acid-treated, expanded, twisted and braided into a flexible packing. Chemically resistant, self-lubricating, with excellent high-temperature capability and thermal conductivity. Suitable for a wide range of sealing applications, except strong oxidisers.

PTFE and Kevlar fibre combined packing and rings

PTFE and Kevlar fibre combined packing and rings

Braided from graphited PTFE fibre (GFO type) or expanded PTFE fibre combined with Kevlar aramid fibre. Good sliding velocity, high pressure resistance and thermal conductivity.

  • Piston pumps up to 500 bar
  • High-pressure, high-speed centrifugal pumps
PTFE filament braided packing and rings

PTFE filament braided packing and rings

Made from 100% continuous PTFE filament impregnated with PTFE or graphite dispersion and a high-temperature lubricant. High density, dimensionally stable, very low water absorption and resistant to most chemicals.

  • Valves and slow shaft speeds
  • Food and chemical processing

Gasket materials

Non-asbestos jointing sheet and gaskets

Non-asbestos jointing sheet and gaskets

Graphite, aramid, carbon and mineral fibres bound with NBR or SBR rubber, compressed and calendered under high temperature and pressure. A complete replacement for asbestos jointing sheet. Can be reinforced with tinned steel, SS304 or SS316 wire mesh for high-pressure service.

Graphite sheet and gaskets, with or without metal insert

Graphite sheet and gaskets, with or without metal insert

Pure graphite sheet, or graphite reinforced with carbon steel, SS304 or SS316 (tanged, flat or mesh insert). Excellent chemical stability, high strength and no cold flow. Ideal for all kinds of flat gaskets and engine head gaskets.

Spiral wound gaskets

Spiral wound gaskets

Spiral wound gaskets

A full range of spiral wound gaskets for every flange type, made to international standard dimensions and materials. Produced by Carrara on modern machines with winding tension control, so each gasket meets the compressibility and recovery required for a reliable seal. Large stock and a flexible workshop allow fast delivery, even for small quantities, with technical advice on choosing the right style.

Machined PTFE parts

PTFE tubes, rods, rings and bushings

PTFE tubes, rods, rings and bushings

PTFE semi-finished and machined parts (tubes, rods, rings, flanged bushings and seats) in virgin or filled grades, for chemical resistance and low friction.
