Vertec™ 1024
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
Vertec™ 1024 is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) reinforced with glass fiber. Glass fiber improves the wear properties of PTFE, lowers the deformation under load at both high and low temperatures, and increases the impact resistance while leaving the electrical and chemical characteristics of PTFE essentially unchanged. It is suitable for piston rings, valve seats, shaft seals, electrical insulators, bearing pads and gaskets. This material should not be used in contact with strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid.
