Vertex FC 07: FKM-B Compound for Unrivalled Chemical Resistance

Vertex FC 07 is an FKM-B type fluoroelastomer compound engineered specifically for chemical resistance, built to withstand a wide range of aggressive fluids under pressure. Unlike general-purpose FKM grades, this bisphenol-cured compound is formulated to deliver unrivalled resistance against harsh chemical media, making it a preferred choice for mechanical seals, valves and compressors operating in chemically demanding environments.

Vertex FC 07 properties

ISMAT formulates Vertex FC 07 as an FKM-B type compound, distinct from standard FKM grades in its cure system and chemical makeup. This gives it markedly higher resistance to a broad spectrum of fluids under pressure, along with very good chemical compatibility across the board. Every batch is validated through in-house testing to ensure it consistently meets these chemical resistance benchmarks.

This compound is particularly well suited for mechanical seals, valves, pumps and compressors where exposure to aggressive process fluids is a constant challenge. Where standard FKM compounds may degrade or swell on contact with certain chemicals, Vertex FC 07 is built to hold up, reducing the risk of premature seal failure in chemically harsh service.

If your application involves demanding chemical exposure alongside high-temperature service, Vertex FC 07 is engineered to handle it. Reach out to ISMAT to check compatibility with your specific process media.
