Vertec™ 1021
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
Vertec™ 1021 is a filled PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) material. It exhibits good sealability, low coefficient of friction and very low wear rate under dry running conditions. It is a little harder and a bit more abrasive than other similar use materials, 1011, and 1110, however it wears better and can handle higher speed applications. It is an ideal sealing material for use against metal surfaces in dynamic applications. It has performed especially well in air compressor applications such as piston cups.
