Chesterton Packing

Chesterton packing products represent a premier line of compression packing solutions engineered for superior performance in demanding pump and valve applications. Their advanced packing materials, including graphite-reinforced PTFE, carbon fiber, and specialized synthetic yarns, are manufactured using proprietary braiding techniques that ensure optimal density, flexibility, and sealing efficiency. Chesterton's diverse packing portfolio includes innovative designs like the SuperSet™ composite sets and LiveLoading® technology that significantly extend service life while reducing maintenance requirements and shaft wear compared to conventional packings. These high-performance products feature enhanced heat dissipation properties, superior chemical resistance, and reduced friction characteristics that minimize power consumption and equipment damage. Chesterton packings are particularly valued in industries such as pulp and paper, mining, chemical processing, and power generation where their reliability under challenging operating conditions—including high pressures, extreme temperatures, and aggressive media—provides measurable improvements in equipment uptime, operational safety, and environmental compliance.
