Graphite / PTFE Packing

Style 2046 - Graphite/PTFE with Aramid Corners (Bumble-Bee)

Phelps Style 2046 is a unique constrution of Aramid fiber corners and CPL fiber body, which is specifically designed for abrasive applications where the media contains 20% to 30% solids and the particulate size to 50 to 80 microns. This is a range in which neither Style 2024 or Aramid Style 2042 performs exceptionally well. Phelps Style 2046 also works as bull rings with CPL Style 2024 in applications where there are abrasives and/or excessive gland clearances.
