Duramax Ultra -X High Performance Compression Packing

Duramax ULTRA-X is a unique high performance, non-asbestos, braided packing specifically engineered to meet the demands of marine propulsion. It requires no grease, stays flexible and pliable, will not harden, swell or become brittle. Key Features Dissapates Friction Heat Over five times more thermally conductive than flax and PTFE Grease Free Installation Self-lubricating and comfortable, easy to install and remove after use Virtually eliminates shaft scoring stays pliable, never hardens or becomes abrasive, even at high shaft speeds Leakage prctically eliminated doesn't shrink, keeps bilge drier and free of oily contaminants Lasts over 5 times longer than other packing doesn't get consumed in use, holds it's shape and dimension

Always runs cool, even at high shaft speeds Transfers friction heat to stuffing box Duramax Ultra-X dissipates frictional heat from the shaft transfering it to the stuffing box, which function as a heat sink, lowering the temperature of the shaft and the packing at all shaft speeds. In contrast, flax packing acts as an insulator, trapping frictional heat that can cause shaft damage and loss of seal.
Minimizes shaft wear and equipment damage Ultra-low friction Duramax Ultra-X always remains pliable. Flax and PTFE packing will harden, get brittle and be consumed in use, resulting in shaft scoring and costly replacement. Abrasives will not embed into Ultra-X packing unlike flax with it's sticky lubricants which actually act as a holder for abrasives causing shaft damage.	practically eliminates a dripping stuffing box Ultra-X experiences no shrinkage, keeps it's shape and dimension, and requires virtually no water for lubrication. Keeps bilge dry and clean of oily contaminants.	Experiences no packing failure Duramax Ultra-X experiences no thermal expansion. It is not consumed during operation, so it never needs additional rings before the next scheduled haulout. This eliminates the need for constant gland adjustments
