VERTEX F 10M is a high-performance perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) sealing solution specifically engineered for excellent chemical and steam resistance.
This advanced 90 Shore A FFKM compound is designed to thrive in aggressive chemical environments and high-pressure steam conditions up to +250°C continuous (+270°C intermittent), making it a reliable choice for industries such as chemical processing, oil & gas and steam systems, where superior fluid compatibility and thermal stability are critical.
As part of ISMAT’s range of high-performance elastomers, VERTEX F 10M is ideal for applications requiring FFKM seals, perfluoroelastomer O-rings and steam-resistant chemical seals. Its unique formulation ensures unrivalled chemical compatibility with <10% volume swell in aggressive media like acids (HCl 35%, H2SO4 96%), ketones, esters, ethers, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, sour gases, hydrocarbons, hot water and steam.
