Chesterton 1400R Carbon-Reinforced Graphite Packing
Chesterton 1400R Carbon-Reinforced Graphite Packing:Reinforced, braided, graphite packing with a corrosion inhibitor. The carbon yarn reinforcement is provided within the graphite tape yarn as well as the braided construction.
- 1400R forms a homogeneous mass under gland pressure, so that leakage cannot penetrate the packing set.
- The all-carbon/graphite set withstands higher shaft speeds while limiting shaft friction.
- The structural carbon fiber reinforcement prevents extrusion when 1400R sets are installed in valves at higher pressures.
In addition to its excellent sealing capabilities in rotating equipment, 1400R is a superior valve sealing material. This dual purpose design makes it a truly universal mechanical packing.
Features & Benefits
- Passive molybdate-corrosion inhibitor
- Forms a homogeneous mass under gland pressure

1727 Multi-Lon Benefits & Features:
- High chemical resistance
- Long-wearing for fewer repacks
- Non-staining; protects product quality
- Non-hardening for fewer adjustments
- Non-abrasive; less sleeve wear
- Non-pitting; saves shafts

Chesterton 329 Stern-Lon Marine Flax Shaft Packing
Chesterton 329 Stern-Lon® is square-plait-braided to provide an unusually flexible, formable shaft packing. The base fiber is a long-fibered, roved flax of the highest quality. 329 is graphite-free to avoid galvanic corrosion on shafts.
During production, 329 is first impregnated with concentrated PTFE dispersion to promote non-flowing lubricity and to retard degradation. This is followed with a plasticizing “break-in” lubricant which assures compressibility, flexibility, and good packing-to-shaft contact. Large sizes need not be hammered into place. Finally, to minimize frictional attrition, a finely divided fluorocarbon powder is embedded into the surface of the packing. Chesterton 329 produces little or no shaft or sleeve wear.
Features & Benefits- Suitable for stern tube and paper mill packing
- Most recognized product for the marine industry in Stern tubes
