FKM-Black

FKM (fluoroelastomer) rubber is a type of synthetic rubber known for its exceptional resistance to heat, chemical, and fluids. It is made from a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride (VDF), hexafluoropropylene (HPF), and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). FKM rubber is also commonly referred to as fluoroelastomer or fluorocarbon.

Properties

• Excellent resistance to high temperatures (ranging from -4°F to 482°F)
• Can withstand exposure to a wide variety of chemicals, oils, fuels, acids, and solvents
• Suitable for use in harsh environments where other elastomers may degrade quickly

Applications

• Gaskets
• O-rings
• Hoses
• Diaphragms
• Components where resistance to heat, chemicals, and fluids is crucial

Industries

• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Chemical processing
• Oil and gas
• Pharmaceuticals
• Semiconductor manufacturing

Overall, FKM rubber is valued for its excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and durability, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring high performance under extreme conditions.
