Carbon Fiber packing with graphite impregnation is Braided from strong carbon continuous yarns after softening, impregnated with proprietary lubricants and graphite particles, which act as a break-in lubricant, and block leakage. Reinforced with nickel wire is also on request. The wire reinforcement provides increased mechanical strength, usually for static.

AP2203 is used for pumps or valves in high pressure and high temperature. It handles water, steam, acids and aldalis for power stations, refineries, boiler plants etc. Carbon Fiber packing with graphite impregnation and nickel wire reinforcement is commonly used in steam turbines, high temperature motor-actuated valves and for high pressure, hign temperature valve application in general.
