Mechanical leather packings have an advantage not possessed by other packings. The hide from which leather packings are made is a natural product. The individual fibres of leather are interwoven in a manner that is unmatched by any other packing material. This natural fabric is not only pliable and tough, but also highly resistant to abrasion and wear.

Some of the advantages of leather packings include:

  • A low coefficient of friction
