Style #1080 - Babbit Foil Packing

Style #1080 - Babbit Foil Packing

Style #1080 - Babbit Foil Packing is designed for rotating shafts operating at temperatures up to 450°F on centrifugal oil pumps, high-pressure water pumps, boiler feed pumps, steam turbine shafts, air and ammonia compressors, pumps with congealing fluids, heat transfer fluids, and valve services. This packing features folded ribbons of Babbit Foil, which are strong enough to prevent the penetration of foreign substances into the packing while soft enough to provide a bearing alloy that reduces shaft scoring. The foil is wrapped, twisted, and crinkled in an exclusive process that traps special oil and graphite in the voids and interstices. Suitable for a pH range of 0-12.
