Impregnation is carried out in three stages: on individual yarns plus graphite paste with corrosion inhibitors, then on the packing body and on the surface with particles and flakes of very fine graphite. It is a packing with excellent spring-back and excellent extrusion resistance. It is suitable as a seal on valves and especially where long-lasting resistance to high temperatures is required. It cannot be used with strong oxidants.
