Gland Packings
ULMAN Industriebedarf GmbH has been manufacturing and supplying high-quality seals for more than 75 years.
Our gland packings guarantee a long service life, high operational reliability and low maintenance requirements. We offer packings made from all standard technical fibres, providing a comprehensive, asbestos-free range to meet your full spectrum of requirements.
A gland packing – also simply referred to as a packing or sealing packing – serves as a dynamic seal for rotating shafts or spindles. It is used where a medium such as water, oil or a suspension needs to be contained at a housing opening, even though the shaft is rotating or the spindle is moving longitudinally.
Characteristics - Advantages - Fields of Application
- High pressures, resistant to pressure spikes
- High temperatures (no elastomers as found in mechanical seals)
- Chemical resistance across the entire pH range of 0–14
- Suitable for media containing solids and abrasive media
- Our range also includes special shapes such as rectangular, lens-shaped and trapezoidal cross-sections.
Graphite/Carbon fibre
Graphite/Carbon Fibre Gland Packs (gland packing) are used to provide a dynamic seal for rotating or oscillating components, such as pumps, agitators and valves

PTFE Gland Packs are used in applications where high temperatures, corrosive media or fluctuating operating conditions require reliable sealing
Learn moreHybrid Gland Packings
Hybrid Gland Packings are primarily used in plants and equipment within the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, oil refineries and the food industry, as well as in the chemical departments of energy supply companies, in metallurgy and in the pulp industry.
Learn moreAramid
Aramid Packings - Thanks to the high strength of aramid fibre, aramid gland packs can be used even in high-pressure applications and under demanding operating conditions. The PTFE impregnation allows them to be used in rotary pumps, although their main area of application is in piston pumps.
