Slade Manufactures its own patented braiding yarns. Each individual strand is reinforced with high strength carbon fiber.

2 Years of field testing has proven that 25% of all pulp and paper mill water can be conserved with Slade Foil. INTERMECH is proud to be able to offer you this fine product. Below you will find a list of all the Slade packing that we carry, including a list of test results conducted on the product, and the application best suited to each.

Slade Foil™ makes conventional packing obsolete. Eliminate Seal Water and stop all leakage's. No flushing is required.

It must be noted that 96% of all valves packed with Slade have zero emissions and are fire safe. These attributes make this brand of packing the perfect choice for high temperature services. The high temperature capability of Slade Packing has proven petrochemical valve performance in power utility installations.

INTERMECH has secured sole representation rights for Slade in South Africa and would be pleased to quote you on all your pump and packing requirements. After reading about the products below, please use our "feedback form" to contact us about any further information that you may require.
