1009 is a proprietary, polymer filled PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene)
material. It exhibits good sealability, creep resistance,
very low coefficient of friction and low wear rate
under dry running conditions. Its non-abrasive nature
makes it an ideal sealing material for use against
soft metal surfaces in dynamic applications. It will
service steam use, making it a good candidate where
VERTEC 1011 is not acceptable.
