Vertec™ 1020
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
Vertec™ 1020 is a carbon-graphite filled PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) material. Its ability to run under dry or wet conditions along with its low wear rate makes it an ideal high temperature bearing material. It also offers high load bearing capability, relative to other flouropolymers, for many general-purpose industrial applications.
