Overview
The 5490 SILICA-T SQ compression packing is a braided fiberglass sealing material supplied on a 60 ft reel with 7/8″ width (ASBR875-60). This packing material is engineered for use in compression glands, valve stems, and rotating shaft applications where reliable sealing is critical. The silica fiber construction provides excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance in demanding industrial environments. New in box condition ensures you receive untouched, factory-sealed material ready for immediate deployment.
