Vulcan Type VG1D is square braided from continuous filament, texturized glass fibres reinforced with Inconel wire and impregnated yarn by yarn with pure Graphite powder and a corrosion inhibitor. 

Type VG1D Graphited Glass packing is designed as a substitute for classic Asbestos packing with high-temperature capability. The addition of Inconel wire reinforcement results in a true high-pressure and high-temperature traditional valve packing that has the advantage of being non-asbestos.

Type VG1D standard spool length is 8 metres. Custom lengths can be available - please contact us using the form.

Applications: General purpose, non-asbestos valve packing against steam, water, oils, air, alkali, mild acids and chemicals. Not suitable for very arduous conditions.
