Merkel Gland Packing Arolan 6210

Merkel Arolan made from highly wear resistant aramide yarn has already proven itself in the most diverse applications. Especially where hardening, crystallizing or abrasive media can have a damaging effect on the packing. Arolan offers a long-lasting resistance. Proven application areas are refiners, material, juice and mud pumps, paddle dryers and agitators.

A strong adhesion of the PTFE to the smooth yarn is achieved by a special pre-treatment process.

PTFE optimizes the sliding properties and closes the creep paths in the braid, the adhesion of the yarn to each other is improved.

A physiologically harmless running-in lubricant supports the sealing effect at low gland packing tension.
