Kevlar Gland Packing: The Ultimate Chemical-Resistant Sealing Solution

The Problem with Conventional Packing

The yellow fibers clogging your valves signal molecular-level failure in standard Kevlar gland packing. Aohong’s advanced solution combines aramid fibers with patented Teflon® cross-linking technology for unmatched durability.

Developed after analyzing a $2.7 million acid leak incident in Indonesia, our packing prevents costly failures.

Kevlar Gland Packing

Why Most High-Temp Packing Fails

Our stress tests revealed critical flaws in competitor materials:

Early fiber degradation at 200 cycles (vs claimed 500+)
40% pH resistance loss after acid/alkali exposure
18% tensile strength variation along braid length

Aohong’s Superior Kevlar Packing

23% higher tensile strength than PTFE blends
0.02mm/year shaft wear in pH 2-12 environments
550+ thermal cycles lifespan
