SAFETY-SEAL valves are used in applications where corrosive, abrasive, and toxic media need to be handled and electrostatic charges must be avoided at the same time.

Carbon fiber packings are not all created equal. Higher carbon purity improves the temperature and chemical resistance of the braid. Lattice braid construction from staple fibers produces a carbon packing that conforms to the stuffing box better, requiring lower gland load to seal. That lower gland load translates into a packing that will last significantly longer than those made from continuous or stretch broken filaments. It also means that there will be less frictional drag on the shaft in rotating equipment and easier operation in valves. Garlocks styles 98 and 5000 are designed to give the user the greatest return on initial investment in terms of leakage control, service life, and dependable, cost-effective product.

Garlock GYLON gasketing is a family of severe service PTFE gasketing materials manufactured using a proprietary process that imparts unique physical properties that are not obtainable through conventional manufacturing methods.The innovative GYLON manufacturing process reorients the PTFE and fillers in a way that increases the materials tensile properties and decreases the creep relaxation problems that usually plague PTFE products. In addition, the mixing process creates a homogenous material with consistent, superior physical properties that, unlike inferior skived PTFE sheet gaskets, do not fluctuate from one side of the sheet to another. Plus, our patented thermal bonding process allows us to fabricate gaskets of nearly any size.

Made by winding alternative strips of metal and soft filler material such as flexible graphite or PTFE. Ideal for standard flanges, heat exchangers, boiler handholes, manholes and other high temperature applications.
