UTEX manufactures injectable packing for use in pumps, valves, mixers and other dynamic/static sealing applications. U-PAK® is an engineered blend of lubricants and fibers that provides a seal between the shaft and the stuffing box walls. It can be installed by conventional means or by using a hydraulic or manual gun that injects the packing into place. Once in place, the packing can be "topped off" if leakage occurs, often when the equipment is under pressure and operating.

Now, U-PAK® injectable pump and valve sealant from UTEX Industries combines a malleable packing material with space-age chemistry and technology to produce a superior pump and valve packing material that can be injected while the pump is running without interrupting production.

Benefits |

U-PAK® injectable sealant is made from a blend of high-tech, non-asbestos, non-hazardous synthetic fibers and carefully selected blends of greases, oils and other proprietary binders. It is this unique blend of fibers and binding agents that allows the sealant to be run virtually leak free. And, because it does not depend on products leakage for lubrication, the frictional heat buildup that so often leads to compression packing failure is eliminated. The sealant's low friction coefficient and non-stick properties help extend equipment life by reducing shaft and sleeve wear.
There is no need to worry about sizes, because U-PAK® sealant is a malleable, putty-like product packed in bulk form. You can't leave the shop with the wrong size U-PAK®!
The U-PAK® sealants are easily installed with any flat-bladed tool, such as a putty knife or wide-bladed screwdriver. Or, the material can be finger-packed into the box. An anti-extrusion ring of the appropriate material is placed in the stuffing box around the shaft. A second ring is put in place after the sealant is installed.
When repacking become necessary, you do not have to remove the old packing. Just add more sealant packing material by using the U-PAK® injection gun to inject new packing through a fitting installed on the pump or valve stuffing box.
All U-PAK® injectable sealants, with the exception of Style 300 BP, are available in bulk containers of 1 kg (2.2 lb), 5 kg (11 lb), 10 kg (22 lb) and in convenient 10-pack stick cartridges which greatly simplify injection gun loading. Style 300 BP is available only in bulk containers of 1 kg (2.2 lb), 5 kg (11 lb), and 10 kg (22 lb).
