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
