Duramax Ultra-X is engineered so you will never experience packing failure that causes excessive shaft scoring. It always runs cool and always stays pliable. It never gets hard and abrasive, so expensive shaft repair or replacement is a thing of the past. Unlike flax, Duramax Ultra-X is not consumed in use, which means you don't need to constantly adjust the gland oradd more rings of packing to maintain your seal. Ultra-X eliminates the headaches associated with other type packing materials by lowering maintenance and operating costs thus reducing downtime. There are competitors with lower priced Look-alike black PTFE fiber packing. Many of these look-alike packings use pure PTFE which is known for its thermal expansion. Besides having low tensile strength the thermal expansion of this material creates high heat and friction which results in significant shaft scoring and loss of seal. Duramax Ultra -X will simply work as well or better than any other braided packing designed for marine applications.Duramax Ultra-X dissipates frictional heat from the shaft transferring it to the stuffingbox, which functions as a heat sink, lowering the temperature of the shaft and packing atall shaft speeds. In contrast, flax packing acts as an insulator, trapping frictional heat thatcan cause shaft damage and loss of seal.Minimizes shaft wear and equipment damage.Practically eliminates adripping stuffing box.Experiences no packing failure.Easy to handle and cut.Conforms quickly for a leak-proof seal.One adjustment, then never worry about it again.Easy to remove for repackingMeets Environmental Requirements.Ultra-X Is the Most Versatile and Cost Effective.Dissipates frictional heatGrease-free installationVirtually eliminates shaft scoring:Leakage practically eliminated:Lasts over 5 times longer than other packing:Expanded PTFE:Outperforms standard flax and PTFEHigh tensile strength:Will not get consumed in useGraphite imbibed/silicone impregnated:Lowest friction of any marine packingSelf-lubricating:Virtually needs no water for lubricationStays pliable:Never gets brittle, hard or abrasiveHigh thermal conductivity:Over 5 times more thermally conductive than flax and PTFEGrease-free installation:Easy to cut and handle. Conforms easilyLowlife-cycle cost:Virtually eliminates maintenance, shaft scoring & replacement
