throughout with Teflon suspensoid and a special
lubricant. A dense resilient packing designed especially
for paper mill applications.”; Style C-94 “Braided of AAAA
asbestos yarn, each strand of which has first been
lubricated with Teflon suspensoid.”; Style C-96 “Braided

Teflon suspensoid. For service where blue asbestos
packings are acceptable.”; Style C-98 “Braided of
Crocidolite blue asbestos yarn, each strand of which has
first been lubricated with Teflon suspensoid. Highly
resistant to most acids. Especially suited for valve stems
in refinery and chemical plants.”; Style #708 “Made by
braiding a protective jacket of Teflon over a braided core
of Crocidolite blue asbestos. Both jacket and core are
impregnated with a special chemically resistant lubricant.”,

“John Crane” Plastic Packings-Super-Seal Dry-Graphitized Plastic Packings “”John Crane” Super-
Seal is a superior general purpose plastic type packing composed of special long fibre pure
asbestos, suitable anti-frictional metal particles, fine lubricating graphite, and special binders to
suit specific conditions. This packing is manufactured by a new process which dry-graphitizes
every asbestos fibre and metal particle. The graphite and metal particles are evenly distributed
throughout the packing, always assuring an anti-frictional wearing face. Super-Seal contains no
volatile oils-nothing can be squeezed out or driven off under heat. The major ingredients are
bonded together with a resilient binder. This insures a better seal with less friction and longer
life of the packing. Super-Seal retains its resiliency and does not dry out or get hard. “John
Crane” Super-Seal is available in the following styles for special services:”: Super-Seal No. 1
“This style is manufactured of white metal particles, graphite, binder and special long fibre
asbestos.”; Super-Seal No. 2 “This style is manufactured by using synthetic oil-proof binder,
graphite and special long fibre asbestos.”; Super-Seal No. 3 “This style is manufactured of white
metal particles, graphite, synthetic oil-proof binder, and special long fibre asbestos.”; Super-
Seal No. 4 “This style is manufactured by using mica, binder, and special long fibre asbestos.
This packing is non-metallic. It is white and contains no graphite.”; Super-Seal No. 5 “This style
is manufactured by using blue African asbestos, graphite, and binder. This packing is non-
metallic.”; Super-Seal No. 6 “This style is manufactured of graphite, special long fibre asbestos
and binder. This packing is non-metallic.”; Super-Seal No. 6-D “This style is manufactured by
using graphite, special long fibre asbestos, and synthetic oil-proof binder. This packing is non-
metallic.”; Jacketed Super-Seal Packings “All six styles of Super-Seal shown on the foregoing
pages can be furnished with a braided asbestos jacket. The jacket is securely vulcanized to the
proper style of Super-Seal and helps it to retain its splendid resilience at high temperatures.”;
Pump and Packing Lubricants; Insoluble Plastic Lead Seal, Insoluble Pipe Joint Seal.
