Vor-x® provides Vor-flex™ 50‘s hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) with extreme strength at low deformation (high modulus) and the ability to withstand temperature spikes up to 200⁰F above the rated working temperature of HNBR. Vor-flex™ 50 has a nominal tensile strength of 3500 psi and a Shore A hardness of 88.
“Vor-flex’s high temperature stability allows it to serve in some of the most demanding environments, such as those found in automotive and petrochemical applications,” said John Lettow, Ph.D., Founder and President of Vorbeck Materials. “Vor-flex is also an ideal choice for making custom gaskets to serve in severe applications as it provides a very tough seal, resistant to chemicals and fuels,” said Lettow.
Vor-flex™ 50 is available for purchase online in a variety of commercially relevant sizes of sheet form at http://store.vorbeck.com/collections/vor-flex-engineered-elastomers/products/vor-flex-50.
