Vertec™ 5025
- Chemical Family
- Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)
Vertec™ 5025 is a proprietary, bearing grade PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material, reinforced with carbon fibers and internally lubricated with different proprietary lubricants to improve dry running capabilities. Tribological evaluations under dry running conditions have shown its friction coefficient and wear rate to be much lower than other bearing grade composite materials available in the market.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Vertec™ 5025 has extremely low wear rate along with low coefficient of thermal expansion properties which make this material an ideal candidate for replacing metal wear components. This material is especially suited to centrifugal pump components such as impeller/case wear rings, throat bushings, and line shaft bearings. In addition to improved reliability and increased MTBR (mean time between repair), these features allow for 50% tighter clearance gaps than API recommended values, thereby increasing pump efficiency resulting in substantial savings.
