Viton® Seal Manufacturer
Many industries, including energy, construction, and manufacturing, use mechanical seals and packing to provide fluid-tight seals in equipment. They are especially useful in equipment with rotating parts, such as pumps, compressors, and mixers. As a premium mechanical seals manufacturer, Blaylock Gasket & Packing has over 40 years of experience producing quality stock and custom seals.
Mechanical Packing and Seals
Our mechanical seals are commonly in industrial equipment where rotating parts increase the susceptibility to leakage, such as in pump housings. Seals help improve efficiency and equipment performance. They are very reliable and require little maintenance, making them ideal for high-pressure applications.
Mechanical packing is a stationary seal that reduces leakage in rotating equipment, such as agitators, pumps, and mixers. It reduces shaft wear and helps extend equipment life. Packing is ideal for low-pressure applications.
Our Mechanical Seals Materials
Mechanical seal and packing material must match the demands of your application. We use a wide range of packaging materials, including:
- Aramid Fiber
- Carbon Packing
- Graphite Packing
- PTFE Packing
- PTFE/Graphite Packing
- Valve Stem Packing
We can also create packing solutions from our inventory of cost-effective synthetic yarns that are impregnated with graphite or PTFE. Our Style 2255 packing material features an interlock braid of carded synthetic yarns filled with graphite. It is an excellent choice for pumps and some valves. It is flexible and provides a good seal against brine, steam, oil, alkalis, and mild acids.
Advantages of Viton® Seal Material
Viton® fluoroelastomers are ideal for mechanical seals in oil and gas, chemical processing, military, automotive, and aerospace applications. Viton® is chemical- and fuel-resistant and retains its properties at high temperatures. Additionally, it is highly flexible, and resists wear even under extreme conditions.
Applications for Mechanical Seals
Many companies within the pharmaceutical, energy, and pulp and paper industries use mechanical seals and packing to prevent leaking around rotating or moving parts. Some additional applications where seals are used include:
- Oil and gas: Used in valves, actuators, pumps, mixers, and agitators in pipelines, refineries, and petrochemical plants.
- Chemical processing: Used in pumps, valves, and filters where they keep chemicals safely separated and prevent contamination.
- Water treatment plants:Used in pumps and valves to keep contaminants out of treated water.
The application plays a large role in determining what seal materials work best. For example, you may need seals that can resist harsh chemicals, high temperatures, or high pressure.
