Our Vulcan Gland Packing range offers top-tier sealing solutions engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications. Each type of packing is designed for specific operational environments, providing exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Vulcan VR3: is a general-purpose packing made from high-purity graphite, offering excellent resilience and conformability. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including steam, water, oils, and chemicals. VR3 provides a reliable seal in both dynamic and static conditions, making it a versatile choice for valves, pumps, and other equipment. Its self-lubricating properties reduce friction and wear, extending the life of both the packing and the equipment.
Vulcan VT9L: is braided from pure PTFE fibres, in the form of multi-filament yarns, vacuum impregnated with PTFE dispersion and saturated with chemically resistant lubricants. The PTFE fibres are pre-shrunk and square inter-braided to produce a dimensionally stable packing.
The enhanced lubrication and multi-filament yarn treatment of VT9L allows greatly extended service capability in pumps up to 12m/s surface shaft speed. For use against solvents and virtually all chemicals with the exceptions of molten and alkali metals and fluorine.
Vulcan VK4B: Kevlar gold fibre packing is a true multi service packing that is well suited to the needs of many industries, particularly where physical strength in a packing is required. The strength of Kevlar is ideal for use as anti-extrusion, abrasion resistant, back up rings, with other packing types, to increase the life of any packing combination.
For pumps (rotary and reciprocating) and valves, including high pressure or high mechanical loading conditions, against abrasive slurries, sewage, effluents, water, oils, solvents and most chemicals. The non staining superior lubrication of VK4B leads to less wear and a higher shaft speed capability than some other Kevlar packings. Suitable for use in the paper industry.
Vulcan VP1: is an advanced packing made from expanded PTFE and encapsulated graphite, delivering excellent thermal conductivity and chemical resistance. Designed for use in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, VP1 is perfect for sealing in steam, oil, and gas applications. It provides exceptional flexibility and low friction, ensuring efficient sealing with minimal energy loss.
The construction of VP1 increases the durability of the packing and reduces the gland pressure required to perform a seal. Periods between gland maintenance and packing replacement are thus even further extended and type VP1’s CROSS-LOK braided help overcome extrusion problems, which can be one negative of this fibre, particularly in lower quality braids.
Explore our Vulcan Gland Packing range to find the perfect solution for your sealing needs. Whether you require chemical resistance, high-temperature performance, or general-purpose sealing, our Vulcan products deliver the durability and efficiency needed to maintain optimal performance in demanding industrial environments.
