Multi-Lon

State-of-the-art braided, non-asbestos, graphited PTFE gland packing ropes. Specially formulated to use alongside G-PAC gland packing compound — for centrifugal, rotary, turbine and reciprocating pumps.

Multi-Lon gland packing rope coil

What it is

Multi-Lon is a clean, high-performance braided yarn integrated with PTFE, graphite and a high-temperature lubricant to control frictional heat and shaft galling. It's designed to run long service lives under demanding dynamic conditions — and is an excellent companion to G-PAC gland packing compound.

Unlike legacy asbestos-based packings, Multi-Lon is safer to handle, cleaner in service, and compliant with modern workplace standards. It won't hydrolyse, harden, dry-up, shrink or swell in storage or in service.

Key benefits

  • High thermal conductivity and heat transfer
  • Speeds up to 4,300 FPM and 120 bar pressure
  • Abrasion-free — low coefficient of friction
  • Temperature range: −240 °C to 300 °C
  • Chemically inert across pH 0–14 (with few exceptions)
  • Pliable — easy to install around shafts
  • Up to 15× longer life than competing packings
  • Saves on labour, fluid loss and downtime

Multi-Lon H.T. — high-temperature variant

A special packing manufactured from carbon-fibre yarn, thoroughly impregnated with naturally cured graphite-based interim dispersion as a blocking agent. The interbraid construction and blocking agent prevent body leakage of any gaseous or liquid material. A molybdenum-based metal corrosion inhibitor is incorporated to prevent galvanic corrosion on steam service.

Max pressure650 bar
Suitable forAcids, alkalis, solvents, organic chemicals, gases, steam, thermic fluids
ApplicationsPumps, valves, agitators, dryers, mixers, soot blowers
SizesAll standard sizes available
