an innovative product made of flexible graphite

K95
RivaTherm packing K95 is made of flexible graphite only. There are no binders or resins and no metal wire filaments. It is resilient, compressible and of high thermal conductivity. RivaTherm packing eliminates shaft and stem wear, is self-lubricating and provides

good running properties under dry operation. The leachable chloride is < 50 ppm. Therefore it is suitable for nuclear applications. RivaTherm packing K95 has good pressure and temperature resistance, saves time and costs on installation and offers all sealability for which flexible graphite is known. It is available in cross sections from 3/16" up to 1". RivaTherm packing K95 is ideal for use in pumps and valves in petrochemical / hydro carbon processing, pulp and paper, power and other industrial applications.
