Vorbeck Materials Corp., has announced the introduction of Vor-flex™ 50, the first in a new family of graphene-enhanced, engineered elastomer products made using Vorbeck’s proprietary Vor-x® technology.
Vor-flex(TM) 50 graphene enhanced advanced elastomer features Superlative Mechanical Strength, Temperature and Fatigue Resistance for Automotive, Petrochemical, Aerospace and Apparel
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 athttp://store.vorbeck.com/collections/vor-flex-engineered-elastomers/products/vor-flex-50.
Inquiries regarding custom moldings, reformulations, and applications using Vor-flex™ as a compound are welcome, and quotations are available upon request. Special formulations of Vor-flex™ can also be made electrically conductive. For more information, visit vorbeck.com or call +1-301-497-9000.
