Graphite Packing with PTFE Impregnation — 30 bar Rotary, 200 bar Static, −200 to +650 °C, pH 0–14

Kaxite KXT P402 is braided from expanded graphite yarns that are individually impregnated with PTFE as a blocking agent, then reinforced with textile fibres. The PTFE fills the interstices of the graphite yarn, so the finished packing has far tighter cross-section integrity than a standard graphite packing — it does not leak through the braid itself under pressure. The result is a packing with high structural strength, a very low friction value, and a surface that stays gentle on the shaft and stem even after long running hours. It is the standard choice for rotary pumps and valves in power stations, petrochemical plants and other areas where a conventional graphite packing would weep through its own cross-section.

What Happens Without PTFE Impregnation

  • Graphite yarn has open interstices — the medium can migrate through the braid cross-section under pressure.
  • Higher friction against the shaft creates heat, which accelerates wear on both packing and shaft sleeve.
  • Cross-section compresses and loses shape over time, so the gland needs re-tightening more often.
  • Short packing life in high-cycle pumps and valves means more maintenance stops and higher total cost.

What PTFE Impregnation Actually Changes

  • PTFE fills the interstices of each yarn — the braid cross-section becomes tight against medium migration.
  • Very low friction value reduces running temperature and protects the shaft and stem from wear.
  • Structural strength holds the cross-section shape, so gland pressure stays stable between re-tightenings.
  • Longer service life lowers total cost of ownership compared with a standard graphite packing.

Where KXT P402 Is Used

Five application areas where a tighter cross-section and lower friction make the difference.

01 Power Station Rotary Pumps
02 Power Station Valves
03 Petrochemical Plants
04 Expansion Joints
05 Steam · Water · Mixers

For lower-temperature chemical pumps where a pure PTFE packing is sufficient, compare with PTFE Packing. For a core-free graphite packing with no PTFE impregnation, see Graphite Packing. For high-speed shafts where wire reinforcement is required, look at Graphite Packing Reinforced with Metal Wire. For a graphite packing with a silicone rubber core that maintains gland pressure through thermal cycling, see Graphite PTFE Packing.

Why Buyers Choose KXT P402 Over Standard Graphite Packing

Four advantages that come directly from the PTFE-impregnated construction.

Advantage 01

Tighter Cross-Section

Excellent cross-section tightness compared to a normal graphite packing, because the PTFE fills the interstices of each yarn before braiding.

Advantage 02

High Structural Strength, Low Friction

The textile fibre reinforcement holds the braid shape, while the PTFE surface gives a friction value lower than other braided packings.

Advantage 03

Long Service Life

Longer running time between replacements saves material cost and, more importantly, saves maintenance downtime on the equipment.

Advantage 04

Gentle to Shaft and Stem

The low-friction PTFE surface and soft graphite body together reduce wear on the shaft sleeve and valve stem, extending the life of the equipment itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask most about PTFE-impregnated graphite packing.

What is Graphite Packing with PTFE Impregnation?
Kaxite KXT P402 is a braided gland packing made from expanded graphite yarns that have each been individually impregnated with PTFE as a blocking agent, then reinforced with textile fibres. The PTFE fills the interstices of the graphite yarn, giving the finished packing a tighter cross-section and lower friction than a standard graphite packing.
Why is PTFE impregnation used instead of a plain graphite packing?
Plain graphite yarn has open interstices, so the medium can migrate through the braid under pressure and the packing needs frequent re-tightening. PTFE impregnation blocks those interstices, improving cross-section tightness, reducing friction, and extending service life. It also protects the shaft and stem from wear.
What pressure and speed can KXT P402 handle?
Rotary pump service: 30 bar. Reciprocating pump service: 100 bar. Static sealing: 200 bar. Maximum rotary speed is 20 m/s. For mixed-motion equipment, use the lowest applicable limit.
What is the temperature and pH range?
Service temperature range is −200 °C to +650 °C. pH range is 0 – 14, suitable for strong acids and strong alkalis within the temperature limit. Density is 1.2 g/cm³.
Which equipment and media is it suitable for?
Rotary pumps and valves in power stations, petrochemical industry equipment, expansion joints, steam and water service, mixers, and reciprocating pumps. It handles steam, water, petrochemical fluids and general chemical media across the pH 0 – 14 range.
Can Kaxite produce custom cross-section sizes?
Yes. Standard square and round profiles are stocked. Custom cross-section sizes, coil lengths and OEM packaging are made to order. Send the stuffing box dimensions, shaft diameter, medium and operating conditions for a recommendation.
