Vertec™ 1023
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
Vertec™ 1023 is bronze filled PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). It provides better creep resistance than most of the PTFE alloys. It possesses high compressive strength and good wear and sliding properties. Most common applications include piston rings (compressors), bushes, bearings, and wear pads for high compression sliding applications. Certain chemicals may easily attack bronze.
