At Kriloha Ltd., we recognize that some of the most critical seals in the world are those that keep a vessel afloat. For decades, maritime and water-utility engineers have relied on the natural stamina of flax to protect their rotating assets. The Kriloha Grease-Treated Flax Packing is our engineered answer for “Heavy-Duty Marine” universal service. As a premier global provider of braided seals, Kriloha Gaskets has mastered the Plait-Braid technology required to turn high-strength flax yarns into a high-performance fluid barrier.
The engineering of our Flax series is based on Mineral-Fiber Synergy. Flax possesses a naturally high tensile strength that allows it to withstand the torque of large propeller shafts without “shredding.” At Kriloha, we utilize a specialized vacuum-impregnation process to force industrial grease deep into the fiber core. This creates a “Lubricant Reservoir” that ensures a cool startup and long-term protection against the corrosive effects of seawater. This grease also acts as a preservative, ensuring the natural flax remains pliable even during seasonal dry-docking.
Manufacturing this packing at Kriloha involves strict Staple-Length Calibration. We ensure our flax yarns are free from short “tow” fibers that could cause the packing to break down prematurely. Whether you are sealing a commercial vessel’s stern tube or a massive municipal water pump, Kriloha Grease-Treated Flax Packing provides the mechanical simplicity and hardware safety your facility demands. By choosing Kriloha Ltd., you are investing in a “Maritime-Grade” technology that protects your equipment while remaining budget-friendly.
