Compression Packings have tended to suffer from a conception of being an old fashioned technology not really suited to modern industrial processes and in the case of rotating equipment, largely superseded by mechanical seals. In particular it is widely believed that packings are inefficient in terms of energy consumption due to high frictional losses. Much of this perception is based on outdated products such as those based on asbestos and not modern types utilising sophisticated synthetic yarns such as ePTFE and aramids combined with complex lubricants.
