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
