Graphite cotton gland packing is a replacement for the old traditional graphite asbestos packing rope.
The cotton material is impregnated with graphite and provides a good long term seal solutions on most applications.
Most glands or bearings require three rings of gland packing, so a one metre length is enough to provide three rings for shafts up to 100mm (4") in diameter.
Graphite cotton gland packing must be regularly lubricated with quality water resistant grease.
