FKM

Fluoroelastomer (FKM) is a high-performance fluorinated synthetic rubber widely used in applications requiring exceptional chemical, heat, and fuel resistance. Due to its superior stability in harsh environments, FKM is one of the most reliable elastomers for demanding automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, energy, and industrial sealing applications.

Key Properties:

• Outstanding chemical resistance, including fuels, oils, solvents, and aggressive fluids

• Excellent high-temperature performance, typically up to 200–250°C depending on grade

• Superior compression set resistance

• Excellent weathering, ozone, and aging resistance

• Low permeability to gases and fluids

• Available in a wide range of copolymer, terpolymer, and peroxide-cure grades to meet specific end-use requirements

Common Applications:

• O-rings, seals, and gaskets

• Automotive fuel system components

• Chemical processing equipment

• Hose and tubing

• Oil and gas exploration components

• Aerospace seals

• Industrial machinery requiring long-term high-temperature stability
