Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM)

$0.00

Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) is the highest-performance elastomer class available, engineered for extreme environments requiring unmatched chemical, thermal, and plasma resistance. With a fully fluorinated polymer backbone, FFKM delivers near-universal chemical compatibility and can withstand some of the harshest conditions found in semiconductor processing, aerospace, oil & gas, and aggressive chemical manufacturing.

Key Properties:

  • Near-universal chemical resistance, including strong acids, amines, solvents, oxidizers, and aggressive specialty chemicals

  • Exceptional high-temperature capability, with many grades rated from 300°C to 330°C continuous service

  • Outstanding thermal stability and low compression set

  • Excellent plasma resistance, ideal for semiconductor and high-purity environments

  • Very low permeability to gases and fluids

  • Available in specialty grades for ultra-high-temperature, low-compression-set, high-purity, and low-extractable requirements

Common Applications:

  • Semiconductor plasma etch and deposition equipment

  • O-rings, seals, and gaskets in extreme chemical or thermal environments

  • Oil & gas downhole tools and refinery equipment

  • Aerospace propulsion and high-temperature sealing

  • Aggressive chemical processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing

  • High-performance pumps, valves, and analytical instrumentation
