General Info
DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 is a composite material designed for use in hostile chemical environments. Stationary parts in this composite material meet the following specification per API STD 610/ISO 13709, Centrifugal Pumps For Petroleum Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries:-46 to 230 °C (-50 to 450 °F) temperature limits and 2,000 kPa (20 bar; 300 psi) limiting pressure differential per wear part linear measure of 25 mm (1.0 inch). Due to its low creep and high thermal resistance, Vespel® CR-6100 often excels where other chemically-resistant plastics fall short.
NOTE: Properties for Vespel® CR-6100 are tested in the X-Y direction and Z direction, X-Y values are typically higher in most cases. The properties below are reported in the X-Y direction. Contact us for complete property values.
