- Compress packing gradually using proper gland follower pressure
- Allow for initial run-in period and readjust if necessary
Kynol PTFE Gland Packing FAQ
What makes Kynol PTFE Gland Packing different from standard PTFE packing?
Kynol PTFE Gland Packing incorporates advanced fiber alignment technology that provides superior density and compression recovery compared to conventional PTFE packing. The proprietary manufacturing process creates a more homogeneous structure with enhanced lubrication properties, resulting in lower friction and longer service life.
How should I determine the correct size of Kynol PTFE Gland Packing for my application?
The packing size should match the clearance between your shaft and stuffing box. Measure the shaft diameter and stuffing box inner diameter, then subtract the shaft diameter from the stuffing box diameter and divide by two. Select the closest standard size of Kynol PTFE Gland Packing that matches this calculation. For high-pressure applications, consider using slightly oversized packing to ensure proper compression.
Can Kynol PTFE Gland Packing be used in FDA-approved applications?
Yes, our standard Kynol PTFE Gland Packing meets FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 requirements for incidental food contact. For applications requiring direct food contact or more stringent certifications, we offer special FDA-compliant formulations with full documentation support.
