Mercer Gasket & Shim provides a wide range of high-performance mechanical packing to cater to the most demanding conditions in a wide range of markets. We only carry the highest-quality packing designed to provide superior sealing capabilities in even the most severe environments.

Mechanical valve and pump packings seal mechanical components to reduce leakage. Compression packing—also known as braided packing or sealing rope—is a form of wrapping that expands when compressed and forms a tight seal. Braided packing usually has a square or rectangular cross-section and is made of soft, flexible materials.
