Industrial Sealing Solutions need to be precisely engineered, because they are often used in environments with aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures. One elastomer that stands as a champion for such environments is Vertex F or Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM)
FFKM, often known as the “Rubber Teflon,” is a unique elastomeric polymer that thrives in the most challenging environments, due to its fully fluorinated backbone derived from poly(tetrafluoroethylene) or PTFE. Vertex F (FFKM) contains higher amounts of fluorine than standard FKM, resulting in higher temperature ratings (up to approximately 325°C/617°F). There are also some FFKM grades that have excellent resistance to low temperatures up to -40 deg C as well.
ISMAT offers a comprehensive range of VERTEX F perfluoroelastomer compounds. These compounds are available in various forms such as molded and vulcanized O-Rings, X-Rings, Lipseals, and custom parts, that are used in industries across: Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Automobile etc.
Let’s dive deeper into why exactly Vertex F or FFKM is better than other compounds?
Features and Benefits of VERTEX F / FFKM:
Chemical and Temperature Resistance:
Withstanding the most aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures, VERTEX F series materials excel where others falter, ensuring reliability in the harshest conditions.
Long Service Life:
