Palmetto Syn-Tex™, style 1347AF, is a cost-effective combination of absorbent synthetic-textile staple yarn. This proprietary yarn's "thirsty" nature permits a 50 percent pick-up of virgin PTFE suspension. This protects fibers from chemical attack, reduces running friction, and enhances sealability. The material's low gland follower squeeze extends packing and sleeve life and decreases motor energy draw. The entire packing is saturated in the proprietary break-in lubricant, improving initial start-up and preventing overheating and glazing. Style 1347AF is proven in centrifugal pumps, mixers, blenders, agitators, and knife gate valves.
