Vertec

Vertec™ 1009 is a polymer filled PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) material. It exhibits good sealability, creep resistance, very low coefficient of friction and low wear rate under dry running conditions. Its non-abrasive nature makes it an ideal sealing material for use against soft metal surfaces in dynamic applications. It is suitable for water and steam service, and therefore it is a good candidate where VERTEC 1011 is not acceptable.

Vertec™ 1009

Vertec™ 5028 is a high performance PEEK (polyetheretherketone) composite for the most demanding dynamic and structural applications. This bearing grade material, reinforced and with proprietary lubrication, is capable of performing extremely well in high pressure and high velocity applications.

Vertec™ 5028

Vertec™ 5000 is unreinforced PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material. Its high mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, combined with excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance, make it the most popular advanced thermoplastic material available today. The use of unreinforced PEEK material is increasingly growing across all industries for metal replacements and other applications. Now, with its FDA approval, PEEK material can also be used to fabricate components in food and beverage as well as medical and pharmaceutical processing equipment.

Vertec™ 5000

Vertec™ 1025 is an FDA compliant filled PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) material that possesses excellent load and wear characteristics, and works well against soft as well as hard surfaces, like aluminum, mild steel, and 303/316 stainless steels. It is capable of running in steam, wet, dry, and vacuum environments - without any moisture or lubrication. It is widely used in food processing industries.

Vertec™ 1025

Vertec™ 5020 is a bearing grade carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material. It offers higher modulus, mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under load than VERTEC 5010. Due to the presence of carbon fibers, thermal conductivity of this material is 3.5 times higher than VERTEC 5000 (unreinforced PEEK), thus it dissipates heat at a faster rate. It also gives stable and reliable ESD performance providing maximum protection from static charge build-up.

Vertec™ 5020

Vertec™ 5023 is a proprietary, bearing grade PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material developed especially for the canning industry. Tribological evaluations under dry running conditions have shown its friction coefficient and wear rate to be much lower than any other bearing grade PEEK composite material available in the market. It is more ductile and flexible than our top-of-the-line Vertec 5025 and Vertec 5028 allowing more of a softer contact surface against a variety of metallic counter-surfaces. At the PV values of 40,000 psi-fpm and higher, its coefficient of friction approaches that of unfilled PTFE. Also, the counter-surface wear is much less.

Vertec™ 5023

Vertec™ 5001 is Vertec’s high elongation, compression molded unreinforced PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material. Its high mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, combined with excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance, make it the most popular advanced thermoplastic material available today. The use of unreinforced PEEK material is increasingly growing across all industries for metal replacements and other applications. Now, with its FDA compliance, PEEK material can also be used to fabricate components in food and beverage as well as medical and pharmaceutical processing equipment.

Vertec™ 5001

Vertec™ 5030 is an industry standard, lubricated, reinforced bearing grade PEEK material. This 10/10/10 Carbon-fiber, Graphite, PTFE composite is popular for a number of medium PV dynamic applications. It is equivalent to Victrex 150/450FC30.

Vertec™ 5030

Vertec™ 1028 is bronze loaded PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). It has the best wear properties, remarkable deformation strengths and good thermal conductivity, but poor chemical resistance. It also possesses excellent creep resistance along with pure PTFE benefits like almost no moisture absorption, low friction coefficient and no flammability. It is often used in hydraulic systems. It is most suitable for piston rings, rider rings, and bearings.
