Graphite for Seals

GRAPHITAR® carbon is an ideal material for use as a sliding face within a mechanical seal configuration, operating successfully against counterfaces in materials such as Silicon Carbide , Tungsten Carbide and other ceramics. GRAPHITAR is a very hard material and extremely resistant to wear. It is lubricated by most fluids so that the medium being sealed can serve as the seal lubricant. GRAPHITAR’s permeability can be controlled to allow the lubricating medium to be metered to the sealing surface or to be impervious and fully “Leak Tight” to 6 BAR pressure of nitrogen.
