Fluoroelastomer (FKM)

High-performance elastomer with good chemical resistance.

This thermoset rubber-like elastomer has strong carbon-fluorine bonds that give it excellent resistance to many aggressive chemicals – including oils, fuels, and lubricants. The polymer can withstand temperatures up to around 200°C for prolonged periods and intermittent exposures up to 316°C. It also has very good resistance to sunlight and atmospheric oxidation.

Applications for fluoroelastomer (FKM): 

It is used for O-rings, seals, and fuel hoses in aggressive-chemical and high-heat environments – such as those found in the automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industries. Moulded components are used in dry-cleaning machines, chemical process equipment, and laboratory instruments.

More information:

Several grades of fluoroelastomer are available with different properties depending on the composition, fluorine content, and curing chemistry.

Inspiration for new applications:

Create a collapsible bag for fuel for vehicles that can be used in emergency situations.
