Graphite Ribbon Tape

Graphite Ribbon Tape is a flexible, pure graphite sealing tape offering extreme condition, long life and zero leakage packing performance across a very wide range of industrial applications. Graphite's inherent properties — high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance and natural lubrication — make this tape an exceptionally versatile sealing solution suitable for high temperature, high pressure and high speed applications.

Graphite Ribbon Tape is resistant to virtually all acids, alkalis and solvents (except very strong oxidisers), gases, feed water and both superheated and saturated steam. It can be used on pumps, valves, mixers, agitators, expansion joints, ball valve seats and other static seals, making it a practical and cost-effective alternative to conventional compression packing in many maintenance and repair situations.

Key Features

• Extreme condition performance — suitable for high temperature, high pressure and high speed applications
• Zero leakage packing for pumps, valves, mixers, agitators and static seals
• Resistant to virtually all acids, alkalis and solvents (except very strong oxidisers)
• Suitable for use with gases, feed water and superheated or saturated steam
• Flexible and easy to cut and form — can be wound into rings to replace conventional packing
• Long service life due to graphite's inherent thermal and chemical stability

Typical Applications

• Pumps and valves — gland sealing and repacking
• Mixers and agitators
• Expansion joints
• Ball valve seats
• Static seals in high temperature or chemically aggressive environments
• Steam applications — saturated and superheated
