Vertex FC 18

Exclusively Compounded for Dynamic Use & RGD Resistance
NORSOK | NACE certified

Vertex FC 18 is a B-group fluorocarbon elastomer (FKM-B) specifically designed to withstand Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD), a condition where sudden pressure release can cause system damage. This high-performance seal material is also highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, oils, and high temperatures, making it ideal for demanding applications. Certified to international standards such as NORSOK M-710 Edition 3 (for RGD resistance), NACE TM0187-2011 (for sour fluid environments), and NACE TM0192-2012 (for carbon dioxide decompression environments), Vertex FC 18 is a trusted choice for oil and gas applications where maximum elastic retention is required, even at extremely low temperatures.
