Flexitallic 306 is a conformable, naturally lubricious braided packing primarily designed for use in high pressure, high temperature valve stem sealing applications. The soft compressible nature of Flexitallic 306 assists in providing a good sealing performance at relatively low loads which makes the packing particularly suitable for sealing actuated valves. Flexitallic 306 possesses excellent chemical resistance and is suitable for use in applications involving a wide range of media (with the exception of strong oxidising chemicals). This packing material is particularly suitable for sealing high pressure, high temperature valves in the petrochemical industries.
