O-Ring Materials
FFKM Perfluoroelastomer
One of the most advanced and resistant materials for O-Rings: FFKM, also known as perfluoroelastomer.
What is FFKM?
FFKM is an advanced material that combines the flexibility of an elastomer with the chemical resistance of fluoropolymers, it is the best choice when maximum resistance to aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures is required.
Advantages of FFKM
FFKM (fluoroelastomer perfluorocarbonate) is a high-strength material that offers numerous advantages in a variety of industrial applications. Among its main benefits are its excellent resistance to high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, pressure and radiation, making it an ideal choice for seals, gaskets and components in extreme environments.
In addition, FFKM provides long durability, which reduces the need for maintenance and improves the reliability of the systems where it is used, excelling in sectors such as automotive, energy and pharmaceuticals.
Chemical Resistance
FFKM offers exceptional resistance to almost all chemicals, including solvents, strong acids and bases.
High temperature resistance
It performs optimally over a temperature range of -40°C to 300°, making it ideal for high temperature applications.
Durability
Excellent resistance to aging and compression, which prolongs its useful life.
Common FFKM Applications
Aerospace:
Chemist
Chemical processing and storage equipment.
Oil and Gas
Seals on pumps, valves and other equipment in extreme conditions.
Limitations:
FFKM is a high cost material compared to other elastomers and is not ideal for mechanical applications with high abrasion.
