The Vertec 1000™ Series consists of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and modified polytetrafluoroethylene (TFM) based materials.
PTFE and TFM products operate successfully within a wide temperature range, have an extremely low coefficient of friction, possess good non-stick and release properties, and offer exceptional chemical inertness to salts, corrosives, and solvents, and good compliance.
Vertec Polymers blends lubricants and reinforcements into these base polymers to extend the use of PTFE and TFM for use in bushings, seals, gaskets, and other dynamic or structural applications which must survive higher loads without permanent deformation, operate in more abrasive environments and at higher speeds, and possess more elasticity. TFM products offer superior physicals, lower permeability, weldability, and better surface finish than PTFE.
Many Vertec 1000 Series products can be pigmented with colors on request.

VERTEC 1024 is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) reinforced with
glass fiber. Glass fiber improves the wear properties of PTFE,
lowers the deformation under load at both high and low
temperatures, and increases the impact resistance while leaving
the electrical and chemical characteristics of PTFE essentially
unchanged. It is suitable for piston rings, valve seats, shaft
seals, electrical insulators, bearing pads and gaskets. This
material should not be used in contact with strong alkalis and
hydrofluoric acid.

VERTEC 1031 is a bronze and molybdenum disulfide filled PTFE
(polytetrafluorethylene) material. Due to the higher thermal
conductivity of bronze, this material dissipates heat
substantially faster than unfilled PTFE. It thus exhibits
excellent tribological properties at higher speeds in dynamic
applications. Deformation under load is also improved due to the
bronze content. Since some harsh chemicals attack Bronze, use in
corrosive environments must be carefully examined.

VERTEC 1215 is a proprietary, polymer and carbon filled PTFE
(polytetrafluorethylene) material. In addition to retaining the
exceptional chemical resistance, heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and low friction properties of unfilled PTFE, it
also offers significantly improved compressive properties;
better wear properties, and low creep under load. It is ideal
for oilfield applications as it can effectively handle down-hole
chemicals, hydrocarbons, oils, mud, and slurries. Primarily, it
is used for dynamic sealing components, such as face seals,
packing, riders, and V-packing. It is a significant upgrade from
carbon filled PTFE materials normally used in these
applications.

VERTEC 5010 is a glass fiber reinforced PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material. It exhibits higher modulus than
VERTEC 5000 (neat PEEK), thus offering more resistance to
deformation under load at elevated temperatures. This material
is an ideal candidate for many structural component applications
carrying high static loads. Due to the abrasiveness of glass
fibers, its use against soft metal surfaces in dynamic
applications must be carefully examined.

VERTEC 5020 is a bearing grade carbon fiber reinforced PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material. It offers higher modulus,
mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under load
than VERTEC 5010. Due to the presence of carbon fibers, thermal
conductivity of this material is 3.5 times higher than VERTEC
5000 (unreinforced PEEK), thus it dissipates heat at a faster
rate. It also gives stable and reliable ESD performance
providing maximum protection from static charge build-up.

VERTEC 5023 is a proprietary, bearing grade PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material developed especially for the
canning industry. Tribological evaluations under dry running
conditions have shown its friction coefficient and wear rate to
be much lower than any other bearing grade PEEK composite
material available in the market. It is more ductile and
flexible than our top-of-the-line Vertec 5025 and Vertec 5028
allowing more of a softer contact surface against a variety of
metallic counter-surfaces. At the PV values of 40,000 psi-fpm
and higher, its coefficient of friction approaches that of
unfilled PTFE. Also, the counter-surface wear is much less.

VERTEC 5025 is a proprietary, bearing grade PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material, reinforced with carbon fibers
and internally lubricated with different proprietary lubricants
to improve dry running capabilities. Tribological evaluations
under dry running conditions have shown its friction coefficient
and wear rate to be much lower than other bearing grade
composite materials available in the market. Its extremely low
wear rate along with low coefficient of thermal expansion
properties make this material an ideal candidate for replacing
metal wear components.
This material is especially suited to centrifugal pump
components such as impeller/case wear rings, throat bushings,
and line shaft bearings. In addition to improved reliability and
increased MTBR (mean time between repair), these features allow
for 50% tighter clearance gaps than API recommended values,
thereby increasing pump efficiency resulting in substantial
savings.

VERTEC 6000 is unfilled (virgin) PI (polyimide). It offers
outstanding wear resistance, long-term high temperature
stability, and excellent mechanical strength and creep
resistance at elevated temperatures. PI possesses the best
electrical and thermal insulation values. PI is one of the
highest temperature resistant plastics in the market and it is
very well suited for high pressure, high velocity applications.
PI is routinely used in high temperature bushings and bearings,
starter bushings, spacers, valve seats, gaskets, insulators, and
fuel pump bearings, seals, and valves. Since imide moiety of PI
is hydrophilic, it is not suitable for steam service.

VERTEC 7100 is a proprietary bearing grade PPS (polyphenylene
sulfide) material. Lubricated with PTFE and graphite, it
exhibits good tribological properties over a wide range of PV
values and temperatures; thus it serves well as a bearing
material. Due to the low ductility of PPS, use of this material
for applications where high impact loads are present must be
carefully examined.
