O-Ring Materials
FVMQ Fluorosilicone
A variant of Silicone with greater resistance to oils, fuels and extreme temperatures, FVMQ.
What is FVMQ?
FVMQ is a highly resistant silicone material, which stands out for its ability to withstand extreme conditions.
Its resistance to oils, fuels and elevated temperatures makes it an ideal choice for applications where durability and reliability properties are required, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries.
In addition, its versatility and performance in demanding environments make it indispensable in a variety of components and systems.
Advantages of FVMQ:
FVMQ (fluorosilicones modified with fluorine) is a highly resistant material that combines the properties of silicones with those of fluorinated elastomers. Among its main advantages are its excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, both high and low, and its ability to withstand aggressive chemicals, oils and fuels.
In addition, FVMQ maintains high elasticity and flexibility even under severe conditions, making it ideal for applications in automotive, aerospace and other demanding environments. Its durability and reliability make it an outstanding choice for components such as gaskets, seals and hoses.

Resistance to aging:
Common FVMQ Applications
Automotive:
Engine seals, fuel system seals, oil pump diaphragms.
Aerospace:
Sealing components in aircraft and rocket fuel and hydraulic systems.
Air conditioning systems:
Seals resistant to extreme temperatures and lubricating oils.
Limitations:
FVMQ has lower mechanical and abrasion resistance compared to other high performance elastomers.
Not ideal for prolonged contact with highly polar solvents or strong acids.
