Vespel CR6100 - A Teflon® PFA body, reinforced with high-tensile-strength carbon fiber - CR-6100 offers excellent chemical resistance while exhibiting superior resistance to creep - even up to 288°C (550°F)!  It also provides excellent wear resistance and easy machinability for tight-tolerance application.  Add in a CTE lower than steel in the x-y plane (due to planar carbon-fiber reinforcement), and you have an ideal material for a variety of applications.

The ultimate in chemical and creep resistance for:

Valve plates, seats and seals
Pump and compressor components
Gaskets
Thrust washers
Mechanical seals, wear strips and plates
Bearings and bushings
Grinding, lapping and polishing components

Benefits

Outstanding creep resistance - even up to 288°C (550°F)
