A gland packing, also known as packing cord, grease cord or compression packing, is a sealing rope used between a rotating shaft and a housing to prevent leakage of fluids such as oil or water. The material is installed in rings or windings around the shaft, for example in a pump, where it provides an effective seal and prevents fluid from escaping along the shaft. Techniparts supplies gland packings in various materials and designs, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Gland packing acts as a seal between a rotating shaft and its housing. The rope-like material is wrapped around the pump shaft to prevent liquids such as oil and water from leaking along the shaft.
A common application is in marine environments. On a boat, the gland packing is installed at the propeller shaft so the propeller can rotate while keeping water out of the vessel.
