Overview
The UTEX Style 213 0213-25-0375-01 is a 3/8″ (9.5mm) compression packing engineered for dynamic sealing in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Texlok® interbraid is impregnated with PTFE throughout, creating a durable, low-friction seal that prevents leakage while minimizing wear on rotating or reciprocating shafts. This style is manufactured by UTEX Industries, Inc., an American manufacturer of specialized sealing products based in Houston, Texas.
Key Features
- Texlok® Interbraid Construction: Texlok® interbraid impregnated with PTFE throughout, where the PTFE suspensoid fills and seals all voids around the spun aramid packing
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for reciprocating and rotary shafts, valve stems, hydraulic rams and pumps, stern tubes, accumulators, agitators, mixers, valves, dryers, and blowers
- Broad Chemical Compatibility: Resists oils, solvents, hydrocarbons, and alkalies
- Low Break-In Friction: Reduces startup torque and extends packing life
- Self-Adjusting Design: Maintains consistent pressure as the packing wears
