Ultraflex Barrier Composites

Used in the most demanding high-pressure applications, Versiv Ultraflex is an unmatched PTFE solution for the highest flex life requirements and permeation resistance.

A bondable version with best-in-class etching on one or both sides adds another dimension to the range.

Features and Benefits

Versiv Ultraflex has the highest flex life compared to regular PTFE (up to 200% higher).
High flex resistance means it has a long mean time between failure.
Unique PTFE fabric suitable for high-pressure requirements.
Smooth surface ensures no contamination anchor points.
Offers the lowest permeation rate of flex barriers, enabling robust outer layer and equipment protection from chemical media.
Demonstrates an extreme reduction in deformation under load thanks to higher modulus and clearly reduced cold flow behaviour.
Resins produce high quality with no staining.
Safe to use in food and pharma applications, Ultraflex provides continuous service temperatures over an impressive range, from cryogenic up to 260°C (500°F).

Applications

Pump Diaphragms
Ultraflex aids pump diaphragms by offering a combination of chemical resistance, flexibility, low friction, temperature resistance, durability, and customizability. These properties contribute to improved pump efficiency, longer diaphragm lifespan, and reduced maintenance costs, making them valuable components in various pumping systems across different industries.

Valve Diaphragms
The multimaterial PTFE-based composite enhances the performance and reliability of valve diaphragms in various industrial applications.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Ultraflex is a Versiv Multimaterial Composite with all the benefits of regular PTFE composites and enhanced flex resistance, especially for high-pressure requirements. These materials aid pump diaphragms by offering a combination of chemical resistance, flexibility, low friction, temperature resistance, durability, and customizability.

These properties contribute to improved pump efficiency, longer diaphragm lifespan, and reduced maintenance costs, making them valuable components in various pumping systems across different industries.

Rigorous testing standards

Versiv develops custom application testing based on each of our partner’s product uses in order to create the best possible solution. Some tests that are included but are not limited to environmental, durability, and reliability testing to give you peace of mind making sure that products work in the hardest environments. Our testing begins during the co-development process to develop relevant tests and gather data that allows us to create market-ready solutions quickly.
