Vital in the manufacture and maintenance processes of a plethora of products across industry, packing, sealant and gaskets are required all the year round. Both packing material and gaskets are made from a variety of raw materials and by a variety of processes. Depending on the object it is used on, e.g., pumps, valves, flanges, etc., the gasket can be made from cork, graphite, rubber, silicone, Teflon, etc. Packing is used for a range of purposes like sealing hot water, high temperatures, gases, solvents, pressure steam, etc. Technologies used in packing include compression, hydraulic, die form packing, V-packing, braided packing, etc. With this vast range of materials and technologies in use, the product range is indeed extensive.
