About Palmetto Packing

Palmetto's extensive catalogue includes compression seals, extraction tools, pump shaft seals and accessories. The brand's compression packing seals help to form pressure-tight bonds between pumping equipment and parts. Palmetto gasket seals prevent leaks by forming an hermetic seal through axial force that helps the seal fill all voids around an element. High-performance and chemically inert Palmetto injectable packings are useful in sealing leaks, worn shafts and old machines. These PTFE / graphite packings are compatible with all the pH values and have a maximum pressure limit of 500 psi.

It also serves the purpose of a retainer seal by preventing the loss of viscous lubricants. These shaft seals have resilient nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) construction, offering natural tension to hold the seal in place while the shaft turns.
