Description

Product Overview

The Flax Packing 2’X1/8″ coil is a premium rope seal engineered by Western Pacific Trading for demanding industrial applications. Constructed from 100% natural flax fibers, this brown rope seal combines the traditional strength of plant-based material with modern manufacturing precision. Each coil measures 2’X1/8″ (approximately 2.75″ length by 0.125″ diameter) and is packaged in a compact 3.75 x 2.75 x 0.75 inch box, making storage and handling effortless. The product weight of one pound per coil ensures a solid feel without excessive bulk, while the lightweight packaging (0.5 ounces) reduces shipping costs.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, the Flax Packing coil excels in sealing applications where flexibility, compressibility, and chemical resistance are essential. It is ideal for sealing pistons, rods, and valve stems in equipment such as hydraulic presses, pneumatic actuators, and fluid power tools. The natural flax material tolerates a variety of fluids, including water, oil, and light chemicals, making it suitable for both automotive and manufacturing environments. Installers appreciate the coil’s ability to conform to irregular surfaces, providing a leak‑free seal even under fluctuating pressure conditions.

FAQ

What fluids can the flax packing seal safely?

The flax packing is compatible with water, light oils, and many non‑aggressive chemicals. It is not recommended for highly corrosive acids or solvents.

How do I install the coil for optimal sealing?

Begin by cleaning the sealing surface, then compress the coil evenly around the rod or stem. Use a suitable tool to ensure uniform pressure, and verify that the coil sits flush without gaps.

Can the flax packing be reused after removal?

While the material retains some flexibility after removal, re‑use is not advised for critical applications. For best results, install a new coil each time to maintain sealing integrity.

What is the expected service life of the flax packing?

Service life depends on operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, and fluid type. In typical hydraulic systems, the coil can last several months to a year before replacement is needed.

Is the product environmentally friendly?

Yes. Flax is a renewable, biodegradable resource, and our manufacturing process minimizes waste, making this seal a greener choice compared to many synthetic alternatives.
