VERTEX F 16 is a high-performance perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) sealing solution specifically engineered for outstanding high-temperature and Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) resistance.
This advanced 90 Shore A FFKM compound is designed to excel in extreme thermal conditions up to +300°C and aggressive RGD environments, making it a reliable choice for industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing and power generation, where superior thermal stability and explosive decompression resistance are critical.
As part of ISMAT’s range of high-performance elastomers, VERTEX F 16 is ideal for applications requiring FFKM seals, perfluoroelastomer O-rings and RGD-resistant components. Its unique formulation ensures unrivalled chemical compatibility with <10% volume swell in aggressive media like inorganic/organic acids, alkalis, ketones, esters, ethers, aldehydes, alcohols, hydrocarbons, sour gases and lubricants.
