CR-6100

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 applications. 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)
  • Excellent chemical and wear resistance
  • Easy machinability for tight-tolerance applications
  • Virtually no water absorption
  • Ideal for chemical and petroleum processing applications
  • CTE lower than steel
